Horizons' Emerald Isle tasting menu
Yo, Irish veg-heads. If you're like me, this week might leave you feeling more blue than green — no corned beef, no lamb stew, mostly boiled potatoes and cabbage. This year, our luck is turning around, courtesy of Philadelphia's gourmet vegan oasis, Horizons (611 S. Seventh St.). Chef Richard Landau's Emerald Isle Tasting Menu debuts tonight and will be available through St. Patrick's Day on Thursday. For $45 per person, your party can enjoy a five-course meal, and, should you feel the need to tap into the true Irish spirit, for an extra $20 you can enjoy a special beer pairing. Check out the menu after the jump. For resrvations, give Horizons a buzz at 215-923-6117.
