I just marched in the NYC St. Patrick’s Day Parade with some friends. They were marching with Manhattan College and invited me to join so I strolled up 5th Avenue with my friends and their kids, waving at the crowds and soaking in the sun. I haven’t marched in a parade since walking with my Girl Scout Troop in my home town. I got to walk at the front holding a flag. I was very proud.
Today was better. It isn’t every day that I get to walk straight up 5th Avenue. It isn’t every day that I get to do something silly with my friends and their kids. And it isn’t every day that I cross something off my bucket list. (March in the NYC St Patrick’s Day Parade – Check!)
And it isn’t every day that I get to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a margarita from Chipolte. How perfect.
And for the skeptics among you, yes, it’s true: Chipolte offers margaritas on their menu. Margaritas, shaken not blended, made with real tequila. And they only cost $5.79 (in NYC that is).
After discovering the Chipolte Marg, I was treated to a second learning moment. Have you ever heard someone tune their bagpipes? Did you even know bagpipes are tune-able?
My ears may never be the same. And my appreciation for Chipolte (and the Chipolte Margaritaaaaah) is permanently altered.
I hope your St. Pat’s Day is as good as mine.
