Five Date Ideas for St. Patrick’s Day

St. Patrick's Day is Monday, but if you’re planning to celebrate with your date this weekend and are still trying to figure out a plan, here are five ideas to get you started from Your Tango.

#1.)  Go on a Pub Crawl.  Sure, it's cliché, but who cares!  The trick is to find at least one REAL Irish pub (and we’ve definitely got a few around here)hopefully with some live Irish folk music.

#2.)  Make Your Own Drinks.  You can make green beer yourself by adding blue food coloring to a light beer.  Yep, blue food coloring.  Or if you want a more sophisticated drink, try an Emerald Isle, which is a green martini or an Irish Cactus, which combines tequila and Baileys.  And remember that St. Patrick's Day doesn’t have to include 'Irish Car Bombs' but on the other hand they're a great way to get things going.

#3.)  Cook an Irish Dinner.  Cook up a stereotypical Irish feast of corned beef and cabbage or Shepherd's Pie.  And finish it off with an Irish coffee. If you're looking for a killer corned beef and cabbage recipe, check out mine here.

#4.)  Watch an Irish-themed Movie.  Watch a movie with an Irish theme but go with something less obvious, like "The Departed" or "P.S., I Love You".

#5.)  Play the "Four Leaf Clover Game".  Basically, you just buy some big four leaf clovers at a party store and write activities on the back of them. Then take turns picking a clover and doing the activity written on it.
