The Week Ahead Friday, March 13 through Thursday, March 19, 2015

March 13, 2015

Welcome to the Week Ahead and Happy St. Patricks Day to all! After all this winter’s snow what better to celebrate the green of spring and of Ireland! Island restaurants get in the spirit of the holiday, some as early as the coming weekend others later in the week. Either way, traditional foods, drink and music make the week festive. Now that the snow is melting (fingers crossed!) you may be amazed to see small green sprouts that have already risen above ground and are waiting, as are we all, for the first warm days of the new season beginning on March 20. Enjoy the Week Ahead!
