5 THINGS AND READERS’ CHOICE: St. Patrick’s Day
Hey, it’s some kind of holiday today! Check here for info.
Here are the (more than) Five Things for Saturday, March 17, 2012, along with the results of our Readers’ Choice for best St. Patrick’s Day place.
- With about two-thirds of the online poll and multiple comments for the honor, Tara’s Joyce Family Pub is the winner of this week’s Readers’ Choice! Become a fan of the restaurant via their Facebook page here. They’ll be open at 8 a.m. today for breakfast, featuring traditional Irish fare, and it’ll be followed by live music from 3 p.m. to close. Congrats!
- Courtesy of a reader, Twin Willows will have $0.69 corned beef sandwiches all day.
- Courtesy of a different reader, the South Kingstown Elks Club (60 Belmont Avenue) is offering a full dinner or $9 sandwiches, with all proceeds benefiting local charities. Dinner starts at 1 p.m.
- According to Nancy and Joe Shanahan, they are having two different fundraisers. They will be “spinning” at Brewed Awakenings at 10 a.m., and then doing it again at 7:30 p.m. at Casey’s Grille and Bar. They are members of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training, and are planning for a 100-mile bike event at Lake Tahoe in June.
- At 10 a.m., Maury Loontjens Memorial Library is hosting a drop-in crafts session, Irish-themed. This is primarily for the kids, and the event is free.
- Maybe the kids want a puppy instead though. Find that perfect lucky pup via an adoption event at Johnny’s Barkin’ Bakery from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more info, click here. The event is being run in conjunction with the Animal Rescue League of Southern Rhode Island.
- North Kingstown High School student Kaiya DiPippo will be playing at the Cool Beans Café from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.
