Everyone knows about the White Plains bar scene and parade March 14. Everyone also knows about the Spillane siblings: Molly Spillane's in Mamaroneck, Maggie Spillane's in Mount Vernon and Mickey Spillane's in Eastchester where you'll find piles of corned beef and cabbage, traditional Irish music and a wait staff ready to serve you with melodic lilts.
Not to mention the many bars and eateries that line McLean Avenue in Yonkers (hello Rory Dolans!), the famous Irish breakfast at Eileen's Country Kitchen, and the always proud Yonkers parade.
