Looking for a taste of St. Patrick’s Day, with a twist? Restaurants around the city are putting unique spins on corned beef, taking the salt-cured brisket beyond your usual pub grub. Here are three.
Reuben burger
$19 at Black Tap
Black Tap
Katz’s Deli, one of the city’s most famous corned beef producers, has teamed up with Black Tap to make a burger that features a Pat LaFrieda beef patty topped with Katz’s corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and pickles. Through Sunday at all Manhattan Black Tap locations; BlackTapNYC.com
Corned beef and cabbage kibbeh
Two for $12 at Lil’ Gem
Lil GemThe Mediterranean is a long way from Ireland on the map, but worlds collide at the Lower East Side Lebanese restaurant Lil’ Gem. It’s serving kibbeh — a sort of Middle Eastern meatball typically made with barley and ground protein — composed of corned beef, Napa cabbage, quinoa and onions. Through Sunday. 29A Clinton St.; LilGemNY.com
Corned beef steak with colcannon
$29 at Butcher & Banker
Michael TulipanThe Midtown bank vault-turned-steakhouse is offering a hearty upscale take. A thick cut of corned beef brisket is seared on all sides like a steak and comes with a side of traditional colcannon — potatoes mashed with cabbage and leeks. Saturday dinner only. Butcher & Banker, 481 Eighth Ave., vault level; ButcherAndBankerNYC.com
