6 Feb 2007 10:30 AM There are no blarney stones to be found on the shore, but that doesn't mean you can't celebrate St. Patrick's Day in Virginia Beach. Indeed, this is the place to be in mid-March, when the white sands give way to the wearing of the green, and everybody is Irish for a day. If you're looking to satisfy that once a year craving for corned beef and cabbage, we know just where to go. Conklins Irish Rover American Pub (http://www.celticottage.com/): Your one-stop shop for Irish and Celtic gifts, goodies, and trinkets. Indulge in some delicious Irish delicacies and take home your very own shamrock as a souvenir. Murphy's Grand Irish Pub (http://www.murphyspub.com/): Celebrate at the Oceanfront with traditional Irish fare, on St. Patrick's Day or any time of year! Savory Irish pies and stews, crunchy fish and chips, and decadent carrot cakes are always on the menu at this beach favorite. The White Horse Pub (http://www.whitehorsepub.com/): Located in the Pembroke Mall near Town Center, this eatery offers traditional British fare and live music, though it's been known to get its Irish up every March. Stop by a rousing good time, and if you're lucky St. Patrick's Day just might coincide with their regular karaoke for an old fashioned Irish singalong. In Virginia Beach, though, St. Patrick's Day is just about imbibing some fine green beer and gorging on meaty, rib-sticking dishes. Each year the Shamrock Marathon (http://www.shamrockmarathon.com/) brings thousands of runners and spectators to the Oceanfront for a day of healthy competition. Why not strap on your running shoes and build up your appetite? |
