Manhattan Beach is rolling out the green for St. Patrick's Day, with celebrations going on all weekend and through Monday.

Baskin Robbins is selling a "Luck of the Slice" ice cream cake with green frosting, a rainbow, and a pot of gold. Order online or in store.

Becker's Bakery and Deli will be open for special hours on Monday, March 17 from 8:00 a.m. to noon (they are usually closed on Mondays) with special St. Patrick's Day shamrock cookies and more green treats.


Bristol Farms is ready to help you out for your St. Patrick's Day dinner with uncured corned beef, Dubliner and other Irish cheeses, Irish cabbage sausages, and Irish soda bread.


Gum Tree is offering 20% off everything green, or anything with green on it, through St. Patrick's Day (at both Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach shops).

Handel's Manhattan Beach has switched up its popular Blue Monster flavor to become Green Monster this month. (It's green vanilla ice cream blended with Oreo and Chips Ahoy! cookies.) 

If you're feeling green but not into cookies, go for the Green Tea ice cream (on its Instagram menu; ask for the secret flavor of the month).  


Hennessey's Tavern is expecting to be celebrating St. Patrick's Day all weekend long and through Monday, with a possible appearance by Paul Hennessey himself, who will be heading up and down the coast to his various Hennessey's locations. "Make sure you wear your bling. Wear something green. Look a little silly. Act Irish. We'll have souvenir shirts there for you if you don't have anything," said Hennessey. 

Hennessey's featured entrees include corned beef and cabbage, corned beef sandwiches, and the Emerald Crush cocktail (Jameson Orange, Blue Curaçao, fresh orange and lemon juice, and a fizzy burst of Starry lemon-lime soda. 

Also worth noting: Hennessey's burger of the month is the O'Reuben Burger (a burger with sauerkraut, corned beef slices, beer cheese sauce, and Thousand Island dressing).



Manhattan Bread & Bagel is offering its famous green "shamrock" bagels (shaped like a shamrock) as well as regular green bagels, along with green cream cheese. They also have shamrock cookies, mint chocolate cupcakes, and corned beef in the deli section.

Nothing Bundt Cakes is celebrating St. Patrick's Day with "Luck of the Irish" bundtlet towers (three chocolate chocolate chip personal Bundtlets gift-wrapped with stitched green ribbon and a "lucky!” sentiment flag).

Sidecar Doughnuts is featuring a new Vegan Sugar Cookie doughnut (a vanilla cake doughnut dipped in vanilla glaze and topped with green and white sprinkles) for St. Patrick's Day. Pair it with an Irish Coffee, or order Irish Cream Cold Foam on any hot or cold drink.

SusieCakes is offering St. Patrick's Day choices of shamrock frosted sugar cookies, chocolate Guinness cupcakes, green velvet cupcakes, a "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" box of decorated cupcakes (pictured at top), and even DIY cookie or cupcake kits for your St. Patrick's Day party.


Reminder: Please celebrate St. Patrick's Day safely. As Manhattan Beach Police Chief Rachel Johnson has pointed out, residents can also choose to celebrate St. Gertrude's Day, which is also on March 17. St. Gertrude of Nivelles is the patron saint of cats. Johnson quips, "That speaks to me of being at home with a cup of tea and a nice book."
