In our opening segment, “The Deep Dish,” we celebrate the fact that spring is trying its best to arrive in Chicago… we’re catching little glimpses of it between the chilly days! Kristen shares her trip to Spring Training in Phoenix as the Chicago White Sox took on the Chicago Cubs, and Lisa walks us through her action-packed Chicago spring break staycation with plenty of ideas to add to your list.  We also highlight Choose Chicago serving as the proud destination sponsor of the James Beard Awards nominations on March 31 before diving into all things St. Patrick’s Day — from the downtown parade and iconic green river to the neighborhood traditions that make this celebration one of the biggest in the country. In “We’re Lovin’ It,” we sat down with Pádraig Manning, Vice Consul at the Consulate General of Ireland in Chicago, and world-renowned Irish violinist Patricia Treacy. Together, we explore Chicago’s deep Irish roots, what sets the city’s St. Patrick’s Day celebration apart, and why this holiday feels like a full-on citywide personality shift. We wrap up with “Let’s ChicaGO,” where Joanie and Fabiola share can’t-miss St. Patrick’s Day picks from the best spots to watch the river dyeing and catch the downtown parade along Columbus Drive, to riverfront restaurants, rooftops, and festive favorites across the city.
