Celebrating St. Patrick's Day in Style

With today being St. Patrick’s Day, Patch Picks is coming to you this week with a list for you to find some fun and luck of the Irish today!

The following are some suggestions for where to spend the holiday.

Also in Dedham is the widely-known Old Irish Alehouse at the corner of Providence Highway and Rte. 109. Overlooking the waters of the Charles River, the Irish restaurant could be the perfect way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

Enjoy some homestyle food and entertainment at the Corrib Pub and Restaurant in West Roxbury for a variety of specials, from corn beef and cabbage to shepherd's pie, as well as salmon roscommon, and, of course, a frothy Guinness. DJ George will be on hand for entertainment between 2 and 7 p.m., followed by Jerry Kenneally from 8 p.m. to close.

Have your friends been incessantly talking about the delicacies known as corned beef and cabbage all week? Do you want to know what the fuss is all about? Head to Whole Foods where you can sample these foods along with soda bread and Irish beer.

The biggest official St. Patty’s Day party will take place here at 6 p.m. For a $25 donation, guests can enjoy a corned beef dinner followed by dancing and entertainment. If you go, don’t forget to bring along a canned good to be donated to St. Mark’s Parish in Dorchester.

Head over to Greendale Ave. around 5 p.m. for Irish music and step dancers. See if you can find your own pot of gold by entering the raffle and stave off your hunger pains with pizza.
