St. Patrick's Day Food and Drink

Since St. Patrick's Day is tomorrow, Gothamist wants you to be prepared for tomorrow night. Some of you may be going home and locking your doors. But others will want a night on the town, and we've looked at guides New York magazine and the Daily News offer to help you with your St. Patty's plans. New York's section covers more things, breaking out bars into "After Work Pubs" and "Pub Crawls" in Queens with some music picks plus what St. Patrick's celebrations are going on in the city. The Daily News's guide to Irish bars and eating is more extensive as is their Irish music guide.


For the housebound, Epicurious has recipes for corned beef as well as a more sophisticated St. Patrick's Day menu. They also rate beers (canned Guinness is better than bottled).

What are you doing tomorrow?

Yum. Corned beef and green beer. St. Patrick's day should be a National/Religious holiday- and society should come to a halt to celebrate drunken debauchery.

Another simple corned beef sandwich recipe here (near the bottom of the page)

it's not exactly St Patrick's Day-related, but tomorrow there's another blogger reading at PS122. it's at 7:30 so it won't cut into my drinkin' time too much. WYSIWYG Talent Show

our office will be drinking bailey's in lieu of scotch tomorrow. i love my job.

St Patty's is also my daughter's bday. When I asked Pete Hamill once if he had any words of wisdom to mark this confluence of events, he wrote my daughter a note: "To Olivia, Stay home on your birthday!"

As opposed to the corned beef and cabbage cliche-fest, try some roast beef with a warm Guinness and the Dropkick Murphys.

Thanks for the hot tip, Jimmy. And Timothy, that Pete Hamill is a smart man.

i never get the whole "st. pattys" day. last year was the first time i ever heard of it being called that.

i need advice and hopefully i'll get some...

i don't want to go to a pub full of 20 and 30 somethings. i wanna go to a pub with a singalong, meaning people in the crowd drunk-singing "skye boat song" with a good mix of age groups all the way to the old men in their 60s and 70s.

any suggestions?

probably any bar in astoria will suit your needs. also the Alibi in Clinton Hill will feature much ireland-related revelry. most of the staff is irish and they get awfully worked up with nationalistic fervor. pints of guinness will be $3, not bad.
