St. Patrick's Day Guide; Houston Food Bank Dinner

ST. PATRICK'S DAY— Going to an Irish pub on St. Patrick's Day makes about as much sense as going to a restaurant on Valentine's Day or a Tex-Mex restaurant on Cinco de Mayo, but, for those who can't get by without Irish car bombs and green beer, this guide compiles pretty much every press release that's come out in the last two weeks. Have fun. [29-95]
