You don’t have to be Irish to enjoy this pub crawl. We have included five Irish pubs in five different towns. Pick where you want to stop and end, then go out and have some ‘craic.” (an Irish term for fun or good time). If you try all five we would like to hear about your favorites.
We know that practically every town has a movie theater, but few have a historic gem like the Pickwick Theatre in Park Ridge. While there, plan to eat at Affresco Pizzeria one of our new favorites. Both the theater and the restaurant will make you glad you made the trip.
