Longboat Key restaurants prep for St. Patrick's Day

As St. Patrick’s Day nears, the cravings for corned beef get stronger. No need to cross the bridge on March 17 — these three Longboat Key restaurants have your hankerings covered.

Harry’s Continental Kitchen is serving a New York-style super deluxe corned beef with cabbage, carrots and potatoes. Call ahead to pick up from the deli or eat in the restaurant.

Haye Loft is changing it up with a corned beef and cabbage sandwich topped with a horseradish cream sauce and a cabbage and carrot slaw on the side. 

And the Lazy Lobster is going all out with a menu of corned beef, fisherman’s pie, Irish Cashel blue cheese salad and Irish bread pudding topped with Tyler’s Guinness ice cream.
