What's your plan for St. Patrick's Day, March 17th...

Question

The leprechauns are coming! Cities, villages & towns all over the metro New York area are dressing up in shamrocks, ready to celebrate the food and culture of the Emerald Isle. Will you cook up a traditional specialty, catch a parade, or dine out with a brew? What are your favorite dishes and venues? My companion prepares a delicious Irish Soda Bread. Looking forward! (Follow Covid protocols and Stay Safe!)

Answer

We will probably boil a corned beef brisket with cabbage, onions, carrots, and potatoes and serve it with beer.

Answer

I'm getting my vaccine at SUNY Albany on the 17th. I will celebrate with a bottle of champagne, and maybe a wee bit of Bailey's. My sister isn't having the annual corned beef dinner bash, for obvious reasons. I'll probably do a small flat cut and make some hash. I love it, and there's dinner for a few nights thereafter. I'll make some savory scones for a side.

Answer

When shopping for authentic Irish goods there are always some to be found at your local market. But has anyone tried these specialty Irish markets?
Butcher's Fancy, Yonkers www.butchersfancy.com
Prime Cut Irish Butchers, Riverdale, Bronx www.butcherinyonkersny.com
Food Ireland, outlet in Mount Vernon www.foodireland.com 
Any others?

Answer

Not wanting to put ourselves or restaurant workers at risk, we haven't eaten inside a restaurant since the pandemic started so there is zero chance we will be dining out. Actually, given that it's st. Patrick's day, I'd say less than zero if that were mathematically possible.

we will be cooking corn beef and cabbage at home in our slow cooker.

Answer

Definitely looking forward to our home baked Irish Soda Bread. Will prepare some extra loaves for the kids. Current favorite dining venues around St. Paddy's Day include Jack's Bar, Eastchester www.jackseastchester.com, and I admit I still have a fondness for good old Dunne's Pub in White Plains www.dunnespub.com

Answer

I can taste that corned beef now. Even Ben's Kosher Deli in Scarsdale is offering a version of Corned Beef & Cabbage...everyone is Irish on St. Paddy's Day!

Answer

I'm having pizza.

Answer

Traditional Irish gray corned beef dinner.

Answer

Went for an early dinner at Jack's in Eastchester and it turned out great. The place was buzzing with protocols in place. We scored seats at the bar and enjoyed our orders of Corned Beef & Cabbage (with champ mash & parsley sauce), and platter of Beer Battered Cod Fish & Chips. The kitchen here is quite good. A pint of Guinness helped wash it all down.
By the way, our homemade Irish Soda Bread has been a delight...

Answer

My friend in Brooklyn text me pics of them cooking up his tasty looking corned beef & baking soda bread, but we just had a Guinness at home. Second shot next week for me!
