If corned beef and green beer served in a rowdy atmosphere isn\u2019t your thing on St. Patrick\u2019s Day, perhaps a mellow three-course afternoon tea with Champagne is \u2014 and with a literary spin to boot.<\/p>\n

The Westgate Hotel\u2019s<\/strong> frilled Le Fontainebleu Room<\/strong> is the setting for the tea, which features \u201cMemento Park\u201d author Mark Sarvas, who will discuss the book\u2019s narrative of a son who unravels the story of his father. The event takes place from 2:30 to 5 p.m., March 17 and costs $45 per person. 1055 Second Ave., 619-238-1818,<\/em> westgatehotel.com<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n
