Irish pubs, local restaurants that prepare for St. Patrick's Day Rush

Gina Bentley is prepared for an Irish storm.

When the doors to the Cottage Irish Pub & Restaurant on Broadway on St. Patrick's Day opened last year, the people who were waiting outside could not all fit inside.

“We are open at 10 a.m. and had a line that has been there since 9 a.m.,” said Bentley, whose pub contains 200 patrons.
