WOW! That’s quite a list. I guess Sarasota takes their Wearin’ Of The Green pretty seriously. At least when it comes to the eating part.

That Reuben Sandwich screams, “Eat Me!” just about any time of year. But, especially on March 17th. You can get that sandwich and the Corned Beef Platter shown above at The Old Salty Dog on Siesta Key. They’re busy cooking over 100 pounds of corned beef to feed a hungry Sarasota dining crowd.

Oh, and we shouldn’t forget…

A pint of Guinness. Or maybe something with just a little more zip!
