Saint Patrick’s Day at Second Avenue Commons

Bridget McCarthy

I brought brownies with green dinosaur sprinkles for St. Patrick's day, and Julia brought brownies and some homemade cookies. Once we got going, we had a couple of people who we remembered from last time. One guy who played jenga with me the first time, hung around for pretty much the whole time and was such a hoot to talk to. He called the four of us his "Angels" and had the table laughing constantly. Another fellow remembered us from last time and sang a couple of songs he had written himself. One of our regulars brought St. Patricks' day themed cookies and mini cupcakes and bead necklaces to share, which was so sweet! She also helped us serve some of the treats and had a good time helping out. Since there were fewer people, we had more time to slow down and have an easygoing vibe. We also didn't run out of anything, which I think is a first for this location. This was an excellent setup and there was a really fun and lighthearted group dynamic.
