Good day! We are counting down to St. Patrick's Day on March 17. St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, has a widely-celebrated feast day in the United States. Nearly 35 million Americans - almost 11% of the population - report Irish ancestry. Even President Barack Obama had some maternal ancestors come to America from the small village of Moneygall, County Offaly, Ireland.*
Our Filipino-Irish-American family will start our St. Patrick's Day celebration with a Filipino brunch featuring Filipino dishes that are comparable to the popular Irish dishes of sheperd's pie and hash. We'll enjoy a refreshing green drink and finish with a dessert of different colors resembling a rainbow - all of which reflect the celebration of St. Patrick's Day.
Here is our St. Patrick's Day Brunch menu with links to the recipe for each entree. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

This place is so special! Speaking of special, this is how our evening went. I met my buddies in the downstairs part of home studios NYC, which is more than just an average kind of bar with a lot of woodwork.
