By Rita R. Robison

I’m looking forward to St. Patrick’s Day. I have a great new green outfit to wear. Since green isn’t one of my favorite colors, I’m usually not wearing green on the “wearin’ of the green” special day.

I even plan to go to a pub for a drink.

What are the best cities for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day?

The Huffington Post recommends:

• New York City

• Chicago

• Los Angeles

The view is the Chicago skyline. I took the photo from the Willis Tower, formerly the Sears Tower.
