Deep-fried… need we say more? Try ’em, and tell Frank the Foodies sent you.

GO IRISH: A Rise Above Bake Shop (333 Main St., Huntington 631-351-9811) is getting ready for Huntington’s St. Patrick’s Parade (it’s Sunday, March 14, 2 p.m.). Although Irish soda bread is a year-round favorite at the shop, the girls go into overdrive as parade day approaches. A loaf will set you back just $4.25 and send you back to the old country. St. Patty’s Day-themed cookies include buttery shamrock shortbread and shamrock-shaped Linzer tarts.

CORNED BEEF: The St. Patrick’s Parade steps off at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 14, but the food and drink goes all day long. After the parade, corned beef lovers can grab a bite at the official after-party at Mac’s Steakhouse (12 Gerard St., Huntington 631-549-5300 macssteakhouse.com). Enjoy corned beef and cabbage ($3) and free Irish soda bread courtesy of A Rise Above Bake Shop; Guinness pints ($6) or domestic beers ($5).

ITALIAN-IRISH: La Bottega (9 Wall St., Huntington 631-271-3540 LaBottegaOfHuntington.com) goes Irish on parade day this Sunday featuring an Irish panini – corned beef cooked in beer, cabbage and spicy mustard ($8.45). If you miss it Sunday, it will be back on the menu on St. Patrick’s Day.
