See the Chicago River Turn Green from the Trump's St. Pat's Skyboxes

Check out the killer view from the Skyboxes.

There's lots of reasons to avoid huddling outside on the sidewalks with your friends for Chicago's 2010 St. Patrick's Day Parade, namely the freezing wind, the cold temps, the claustrophobic crowds and lack of bathrooms. But this year, the Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago offers an alternative that'll keep you warm and give you a killer view.

For the March 13 parade, the hotel has skyboxes on the 17th floor that will give you a good view of the action. You'll see the Chicago River turn green�an annual St. Patty's Day tradition, not because of toxic waste�and you'll see the drunken parade-goers make their way down Columbus Drive.

The four skyboxes can hold up to 40 people, so bring your friends to the party. You'll have your choice of Irish-themed menus. For $45 for each green-wearing reveler, you'll get a proper Irish breakfast: scrambled eggs, Irish bacon and sausage, roasted tomatoes, saut�ed mushrooms, traditional black and white pudding, and beans. For $55 a head, you can opt for the lunch menu: potato-leek soup, corned beef, cabbage and bacon, colcannon, grilled salmon with leek and pearl onion cream sauce, and shepherd�s pie.

And of course, this is St. Patrick's Day so we can't forget the alcohol. You can choose all-inclusive beverage packages or do drinks a la carte and chug holiday-appropriate pours like Irish coffee, Irish stout, Irish cream and Irish Whiskey. "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" buttons are not included.

To get your St. Pat's Day party started, call 312- 588-8059 or email rcleveland@trumphotels.com.
