MONROE COUNTY, Pa. — "Eat, Drink and be Irish" is the motto on this St. Patrick's Day inside The Original Pocono Pub and Grill near Stroudsburg.
Though there's no live music and not as many people as in years past, the pandemic couldn't stop the Connolly's from Albrightsville from getting a pint.
"We started early today. We are New Yorkers, so we are used to that. We went and got our first COVID shot, and this is a great place to come. We love it here," said Teresa Connolly, Albrightsville.
