Savor a Tasty Reuben

Get them plain or Reuben-style, but no matter how you cut it, these savory slices from Corky & Lenny's, Jack's Deli and Restaurant, Joe's Deli, Mister Brisket, and Slyman's Tavern are the best. Check out these restaurants for the best-corned beef sandwiches in Cleveland. It is recommended to preorder and get in line early to reserve your meals.

Celebrate with an Irish Ale

For those hoping to celebrate with a tasty Irish ale, Red, Wine & Brew in Mentor offers a great selection of beers and ales. Thirsty Dog Brewing Co.'s Irish Setter Red Ale that is medium- to full-bodied malt, or Great Lakes Brewing Co.'s Conway's Irish Ale, a robust malt with notes of caramel and biscuit. Please enjoy these beverages responsibly.

As you can see, there are plenty of green experiences to be had this March 17th. When it comes to St. Patrick’s Day, Cleveland is the perfect place to be!
