Anywhere in the market will be good if you want a St. Patty's day bash, or you could try Elgin street area as well. Darcy McGee's will be packed if you want a good crowd.

I know that I will be at the irish village in the market. 5 irish pubs that are all linked, all packed, and all serving up green beer.

If you're looking for things cultural... umm... not much going on here, other than the museums.

The War museum is probably the best museums in Ottawa... followed by the Museum of Civilisation.
If you're planning on getting through the whole war museum (and the vehicle exhibits in the basement), honestly, give yourself 5-6 hours. There's a ton of stuff to look at.

One of my kids, he's 22, is a first year culinary management student in Ottawa. He works at a restaruant downtown, called The Black Tomato. Right now. he's doing the weekend lunch menu. Apparently, the place is pretty good. They have a website http://www.theblacktomato.com

Yeah the market will be good...as it always is on st pattys day but you do have to show up early...I havent been downtown in a couple of years for st pattys day but when i did go, there was line ups all over the place.

well. I hope you find it. My other son was up for a visit with his brother and ate at that restaruant and said the food was really good, even if his brother cooked it. Maybe some of our Ottawa brothers and sisters know where it is.

[tippmann]

yeah it would be cool if someone on here kinda knew where it was. if not im there for 2 days im sure i could find it on a map somewhere

[02_svt_guy]

Go to the heart and crown! be there in the afternoon though or else ur sol.

great place for st patty's festivs

[ZX5chica]

I'll be at heart and crown on St. Patty's as well... the girls and I will be running around trying to get our shirts signed

[tippmann]

LOL once agian i don't know where that is, but im sure as long as i got a map i can find these places to check out... think i will start a list of places to check, for sure im going to try those 2 places the Black Tomato and the heart and crown.

thanks

[tippmann]

Well by the looks of it, it's going to to be a fun drive with this snow storm apparently comming..any place that i should be aware of while driving with this snow?

Everywhere. IThis is probably too late, but be careful all along the way. Around kingston can be difficult as well as the Trenton area, the Cobourg area and up the 416 can be fun

[tippmann]

well it was a good time in Ottawa, drive up wasn;t as bad as i thought it would have been, 2 transport trucks just about pushed me into a ditch (fun) and i only hit one spot on the 401 where i could feel the car starting to slide. altho i did see about 10 other cars off in the ditch

I didn't get to do everything because of things not open on Mondays. tried to go to the heart and crown but was to long of a line and ended up going to a place called the great canadian cabin (i think). I didn't find The Black Tomato till i was leaving on moday afternoon

[ZX5chica]

Ouch... so sorry that you had to come to Ottawa and have to go to the cabin ;)

It's not our pride and joy, but it used to be pretty good, from what my brothers tell me.

You'll have to make another trip up here when the weather is nice and you actually get to check out what's going on around town.
