Midtown Lunch

In case your resident holiday office lady didn’t make you aware, today’s St. Patrick’s Day. Let’s forget about the disaster that is the Fifth Avenue parade and discuss where you can get your corned beef on. Of course all of Midtown’s Irish/Scottish/English pubs will be partaking, but given the drunken crowds, your peaceful pub lunch could end go south real fast. Our old favorite, ‘wichcraft, does have an answer. For the past few days, they’ve been serving a corned beef and cabbage sandwich. It’s served on grilled rye with sauerkraut, Gruyere and Russian dressing, and the whole sandwich is (admittedly above our price ceiling) $10.33. No word on whether it’s worth it or no (or whether it comes as pretty as this promo picture.)

If anyone knows of a sure shot place for your Irish Thanksgiving meal, leave it in the comments.
