Even if you're not Irish, I'm sure you can appreciate a good corned beef and cabbage dinner or ham and cabbage dinner on March 17th.  For many around the Greater Binghamton area, it's a tradition to seek out the best eats.

Here are 5 area restaurants/bars that my listeners rate as excellent choices for a traditional Irish dinner and sandwiches today:

1)  Our Country Hearts Restaurant - on the corner of Rt. 26 and 38B, just North of Endicott.

2)  Gallagher's Irish Pub - 92 Robinson Street, Binghamton.  Opening at 3pm on St. Patrick's Day.

3)  House of Reardon's - 25 Grant Street, Binghamton.

4)  McGrirks Pub -  1 Kattelville Road, Binghamton.

5)  Irish Kevins - (former Pancho's Pit) 47 Riverside Drive, Johnson City.

Have fun and be safe today.
