Considering the incredible diversity in NYC, people of all different backgrounds line the streets to witness the incredible floats and music performances.

Parking at the Parade

The last thing you want to do at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade is spend an hour looking for a parking spot. Thankfully, there are many apps for parking that make parking near central park quick and easy. Icon parking lots are safe places to park, with the organization made easy through their contact-less app. If you are out of town visiting, an NYC parking app is vital to ensuring you can have access to all of your future sightseeing as well.

Tip for Staying Warm and Energized

The weather this year has been a complete mixed bag for the people of New York. With temperatures projected to be warmer on March 17th, don’t be afraid to wear your favorite t-shirt to the festivities. However, you must pack both a light sweatshirt and a raincoat, as New York weather can change in an instant.

Additionally, food trucks and vendors at the parade often inflate their prices for the event, and some only accept cash. To avoid long lines, subpar food, and overspending, you should bring your own bag of snacks. There’s no need to pack a whole meal, but crackers and trail mix will punch out your cravings perfectly. Keep hydrated with a reusable water bottle as well. Packing plenty of food and drinks will help fight off “hangry” members of your family.

Keeping Parade Memories

With your snacks and parking apps having you energized and on time for the parade, it’s finally time to get celebrating! If you have a good spot, chances are you will want to take tons of pictures to post on Facebook. The camera app on smartphones takes a lot of battery to run, and no one wants a dead phone at a parade. Investing in a portable charging block will make this a problem of the past. One charging block usually holds up to four full phone charges, so don’t spare any of those great camera shots.

This St. Patrick’s Day Parade is sure to be incredible, with traditional dances and incredible floats. Get there on time with parking apps, keep the energy with snacks, and take the best photos with a charging block. If you need help activating your parking app to get a spot close to the festivities, give us a call. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
