Factors such as the number of Irish pubs in each city, the percentage of Irish cuisine offered in restaurants and how much of the population belonged to that of Irish descent all contributed to the research and its findings.
Over 25 cities were analysed as part of the study with Boston coming on top as it is seen as the Republic’s ‘home away from home’.
Liverpool took second place due to its annual Irish festival, and in third place came New York with 133 traditional Irish restaurants.
