A list of Wichita restaurants offering special St. Patrick’s Day meals
St. Patrick’s Day is next week, but Wichita will be able to commence green beer drinking and corned beef and cabbage eating as soon as this weekend.
As usual, several Wichita restaurants are offering Irish-themed meals at lunch, dinner and even breakfast to celebrate the greenest of days.
