I'm past the pub stage to celebrate, but I love Irish Soda Bread and go to Mendokker'd in Jamesburg or the little bakery in Miltown for it.   I like the ones with golden raisins, though I don't know if that's traditional.

Good pubs?  Lessee, The Wexford Inn in Lincoln Park got our St Pat's business last year, but I also did lunch at McGovern's in Newark.  Hamilton Pub in Newark is good too, though never did them for Paddy's Day...yet.  We usually do a party, and are again this year, in which we make corned beef, stew and brown bread.  This year, to throw everyone a curveball, we are having those things PLUS baked ziti and take-out Indian food.  I also make my own beer for this party, but just ran out of time this year.

what kind of beers do you generally brew?  is it usually specifically for st. paddy's day?

Dublin Pub in Morristown for pitchers of harp and Guinesss. Any day of the year except March 17th...

Ditto for McGoverns in Newark. You could go there on 364 days of the year and be one of 20 people. On the 365th, there would be people lined up to get in, people pushed chest to chest,  drunks puking on your shoes, women in drunken abandon, and you couldn't even get them to take your food order...

Tommy, I brew everything, including the kitchen sink.  I haven't been doing it as much as of late, probably because I develop occasional episodes laziness.  I have made a potato ale generally for Paddys.
