I've driven across the country, and it feels like each place I explore isn't much different than the next. There's so much sprawl and blandness. Can anyone recommend places rich in Irish culture? Or sections of cities with a lot of Irish influence?
South Boston and the suburbs to the southeast - the "Irish Riviera" - are the most heavily Irish parts of the city.
Providence is more Italian than Irish, but there is a very diverse mix these days - lots of Hispanics, in addition to the long-standing Portuguese and French-Canadian communities.
Pearl River, NY
Harrison/Kearny , NJ (an odd mix of traditional Irish Americans & Hispanics of all sorts, which makes for a very easy intermingling of cultures, believe it or not)
Pearl River, NY and Spring Lake, NJ also have a strong Irish population. They're smaller cities, but predominately Irish none the less.
