Even as a child growing up in an Italian-American household, March 17th has
always been one of my favorite days of the year. My dad loved to celebrate
every holiday with a bang, and this day, celebrating the Irish culture, was no
different. After donning our
Kiss Me, Iβm Irish buttons, we would head
into
downtown Manhattan to see the parade, and then go back home for dadβs famous
corned-beef and cabbage. Itβs a tradition I still carry on with my husband (who
is, of course, Irish) and our kids.
Imagine how happy I was when I discovered that this time of Celtic appreciation
had been extended for a few more weeks. Tartan Week in Manhattan runs from the
end of March to the beginning of April. Scottish pride abounds at such glorious
events as the Dressed To Kilt fashion show, the Tartan Day parade, The Scottish
Village in Grand Central Terminal, and the 10K Scottish run in Central Park.

I dearly love the stories about the Highlanders, castles,and all the events that lead up to their stories. Love their lovely ladies too. When I read them it seems as if I am transported along to the bogs and the shorelines with them.
