Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day, and hopefully you’re ready to bring out the Irish in you by wearing your favorite green shirt and drinking until your body turns green–figuratively of course.
If you’re near the Bay Area, I’m sure you’ve heard of 161st St. Patrick’s Day Parade in San Francisco, but why not try something different this year? All over the Bay, restaurants and pubs are celebrating this Irish holiday with special promotions and delicious food. Here are some great places to check out:
