My Take on Yesterday's Parade in Southie..

Alright, so here goes..

I didn't post anything prior to the parade itself because I figured it was pretty much self-explanatory. It's an annual event in South Boston and it's pretty much one of the bigger drinking days of the year. As usual, everyone was decked in green clothing, with shamrock beads. Even people without a shred of Irish heritage, like myself.

The trouble is, in years passed I always had a friend with an apartment near by (she has since moved). That is essential when you're spending the entire day outside in 35 degree weather. I didn't take that into consideration this time, and as a result I was inappropriately not wearing a jacket!

So, I set out in search of a local bar on Broadway but everything was at capacity and I couldn't take much more of the crowd. The fact that the seafood convention was in town didn't make matters any easier. So I drove around, annoyed when finally I stumbled across a gem on the waterfront of South Boston!

... FUN NEW BAR ALERT....


Another Jerry Remy's has opened! I'm a big fan of the one by Fenway so I knew the food would be up to par. The place is big, and there was a good crowd but I was actually able to walk through without kicking my way through drunk people. I sat down at the bar, and ordered a beer and a Remy burger. When I looked up...I noticed I was sitting across from none other than Jerry Remy! So yes, I had a Remy burger across from Jerry Remy.

I'm not one to ask for pictures with celebrities, but I didn't hesitate when the girl next to me did :)
Check it out! I'm guessing it will be a hotspot during Red Sox Season!
