SAINT PAT'S EVE: Limber Jack Jig Contest!

KB HOPES this becomes an annual event. Penn's Place, on Delaware Street (across from the Court House) in Old New Castle, hosted a charming event this evening in their bistro, Traders Cove. I imagine Esther and Matt Lovlie (proprietors) of Penn's Place had to coerce the locals for this first event, but I think it could very well take wings.

First off, I had one of my favorite "light" foods, a curry chicken salad sandwich with cranberries, served with sweet potato chips, made fresh and reasonably priced (with a mocha latte, under 10 bucks).

The Guinness was flowing, mandolin playing, Irish songs singing, spoons keeping the beat. All-in-all, probably more pub-like than most Americanized Irish bars. And you know, I don't know that it was planned that way...I think it was a spontaneous group of the right people, charming hosts and good timing.

Take a look!

Don't be afraid to go down the cobblestone alley. It will take you to Trader's Cove!

A little music.

A little food...

A lot of laughing, singing, Guinness










Some contenders....

And finally...






A winner!

Tomorrow; I'll give an early report on some savin' o' the green at Crabby Dicks in Delaware City, 

and later...I'm looking forward to the Fiddle Crawl!

Remember...if you've had too much of the Green Beer...PLEASE don't drive.
