Beers, whiskies, all green everything…these are a few of the things that make St. Patrick’s Day great. Not to mention celebrating Irish culture! And with all the drinking involved with this holiday, it’s only natural to soak it up with some delicious treats. We know of a few in NYC that’ll make you feel lucky even if you aren’t Irish.

Artisanal bakery Maison Kayser decided to add an Irish twist to a classic French dessert for the big holiday. For St. Patrick’s Day, the bakery will be serving up Guinness Éclairs, pates a choux filled with Guinness pastry cream and topped with vanilla icing, with a green almond paste clover leaf. This tasty treat combines a classic Irish brew into a dessert everyone loves. The dessert special will be available from March 16-18 and April 6-8 for just $4.75.
