According to Diaz, Alma Bea’s celebration will feature a beloved local recipe, with connections to Ireland.

“For the third year-in-a-row, we’ll be making Jay O’Hurley’s five-gallon recipe for lamb stew and serving other Scotch-Irish immigrant cuisine, such as Scotch eggs, Colcannon greens and our delicious house-smoked corned beef and cabbage!” Diaz said, mentioning a number of special drinks will also be on the menu. “This will be another Alma Bea feast you won’t want to miss!”

Later that evening, beginning at 9 p.m., a St. Patrick’s Day Party will be held at Panagiota’s Taste of Greece, located at 115 East German Street. This will be the inaugural celebration of the holiday at the restaurant.
