If you?re in the mood for Irish fare, but don?t want a heavy meal, try the Dublin corned beef sandwich from MacDinton?s. Corned beef and Swiss cheese are layered on a toasted bun and topped with spicy brown mustard; chips and a pickle spear round off the meal. It?s just enough to satisfy the Irish food craving, but not too much as to make you so full that it?s difficult to make it back to the car. ?While you munch, enjoy a drink from the bar while taking in some live music.
