It’s March, and you know what that means—why, St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, of course! We were just too impatient last month to hold our excitement in, but now the month of shamrocks, pots o’ gold, leprechauns (and Benjies Deli’s award-winning corned beef and pints of green Budweiser, too) is finally here. The best part is that Benjies Deli won’t just be holding a one-day St. Patrick’s Day celebration—no sir, we will be having a week-long bash starting Monday, March 14 all the way through Sunday, March 20!
Why on earth are we celebrating St. Patrick’s Day for a week? Well, why not? Why not partake in Ireland’s most celebrated holiday, where we can honor the country’s most revered patron saint? Or, just as importantly, why limit our customers to just one day of celebration? We would hate to see our customers have to wait in a jam-packed restaurant on March 17, so in order accommodate everyone, Benjies Deli will be holding the St. Patrick’s Day festivities for six days.
And, a bonus reason for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day is that the holiday is right before the first day of spring, and what better way to ring in the new season than with our famous pastrami and some matzo ball soup?
Come in during the week with your friends and take advantage of our big screens and full bar in the Bamboo Lounge. The Lakers are playing the Orlando Magic on Monday, March 14th, the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday, March 18th, and the Portland Trailblazers on Sunday, March 20th—watch the Lakers win while celebrating the Irish holiday with some hot corned beef and cabbage and refreshing green Budweiser!
[...] fallacies you ever had of this tasty dish. Yes, that’s right—the Jewish do it better! Also, Benjies Deli will be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day for an entire week (Monday, March 14 to Sunday, March 20), even more reason for you to come in and enjoy a plate and a [...]

live in SE AZ, 15 miles from the border in Sierra Vista, and I received your announcement of a celebration of Jerry Gaynor; I have attached a photo of the last time I saw Jerry, Nov. 6, 2010 in Las Vegas at the MGM Grande. I am sure you recognize Jerry, I am the big guy on the right. I first met Jerry in 8th grade. We went to high school together and when I got out of the navy in 1960 he drove out to CA from Denver to get me home. Sometimes Jerry could be bigger than life. When I heard he had passed away I shed the first tear in many a year. The guy in the red shirt that looks like Ernest Hemingway is Tom Poe and the other big guy is Jerry’s brother Larry. This was all we could find for a reunion of sorts from the old days. I cannot tell you how special Jerry has been to me for over 57 years. Thank you. If I ever get to Santa Ana I will buy everyone in the house a drink.

Send me your e-mail address and I will forward the photo.
