1.) The Queens Head, 2501 Central, has created a Guinness and Potato Soup and Marrow-Stuffed Mushrooms, wrapped in bacon with beet pickled eggs, and Fish and Chips.

2.) , 3451 4th St. N, is serving corned beef and cabbage in a big bowl tonight through Sunday, as a menu special. The restaurant also is selling two-for-one Guinness draft beers.

3.) , 2842 Dr. Martin Luther King St., has a great kitchen that makes healthy foods to eat in or take home. Specials are Irish soda bread, kale colcannon, and vegan, gluten-free Irish stew.

4.) Bella Brava, 204 Beach Drive, has fish and chips, with beer-battered haddock. It also is serving Shepherd's Pie, with housemade Bolognese sauce; and Slow-Braised Lamb Stew baked in a brick oven.
