Where to find corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick’s Day

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:03:20 GMT

Ahh, St. Patrick’s Day — that rowdy celebration of all things Irish.I’m not much for going to the overcrowded bars on that day, even though I’m Irish by marriage. But one thing I can get behind is a homey plate of salty corned beef and steamed cabbage.Even though many Irish don’t much care for the dish, it’s what immigrants from the Green Isle ate when they arrived in America, where beef was much more plentiful than it was in their native land.And good news for local Catholics — even though St. Paddy’s falls on a Friday during Lent, Archbishop Bernard Hebda has granted a special dispensation for the feast day, which means you’re free to eat corned beef or shepherd’s pie.Here are some places that serve corned beef and cabbage on March 17. Some have it beyond just that day, which we have noted below.5-8 Club: 2289 Minnehaha Ave. E., Maplewood and 1741 S.
