Better Late Than Never... Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day
Well, it wasn’t really an oversight; while everyone else was enjoying corned beef and cabbage and green beer, I was fighting off the end of the flu. So, the next day, I set out to find some good old fashioned Irish food and drink. It seems that there are still plenty of Irish-spirited things to do during the rest of March. If you haven’t gotten your fill of all-things-Irish, here are some ideas: Eat and Drink: Lily Flanagans Pub Along with traditional Irish dishes and beer, Monday thru Friday Happy Hours and a Sunday Brunch, Flanagan’s has live Irish music on Friday’s from 7-10 and Sundays from 5-8. Irish Coffee Pub From their famed Cream of Potato Soup to corned beef and cabbage and fish-and-chips, the Irish Coffee Pub has something for everyone. On Friday nights, Martin Flynn plays Irish music. Brunch, lunch and dinner specials, seafood, burgers, steaks and traditional Irish fare abound at Paddy’s. Add in nightly bagpipe shows and 13 satellite televisions and you’re all set for a great time. Go To One More Parade: 14th Annual Patchogue St. Patrick’s Day Parade Parade starts at Route 112 and East Main Street and continues west down Main Street The parade will kick off with the 1k “Family Fun Run” and the “May the Road Rise to Meet Ye” 5k run. According to Lu-Ann Lategano of the Patchogue Parks and Recreation Department, the parade line up includes seven pipe bands, various dance and brownie troops, fire trucks and floats.
