"Perhaps the best part about living in Tampa is that we can celebrate St. Patrick’s Day outside with nary a worry of cold weather. If you’re looking to make the most of the pleasant spring days, spend St. Patrick’s Day at The Patio, a sprawling outdoor bar in Palma Ceia teeming with young professionals. It’s a gathering place for those who occupy the surrounding low-rise condos and apartments, the kind of spot where you can post up with a Jameson and Coke under a foxtail palm and soak in the scene." - Matthew Meltzer
