St. Patrick’s Day: Planning ahead

Among other Hibernian treats, shamrock butter cookies (plain or chocolate dipped) and shamrock Linzer tarts are $17.95/pound; Irish whiskey cheesecakes are $21.95 (6 inches) or $34.95 (8 inches); St. Patty’s cupcakes are $1.25 (mini) or $1.95 (regular); scones are $1.65, and pistachio-Cheddar spread (a pretty shade of green) is $10.95/pound.

Co-owner Lauren Foley suggests placing orders early because the most popular items tend to run out quickly. “The last few years,” she said, “we have run out of every last morsel of the corned-beef dinner and didn’t even have enough for our own family meal.”
