McCarthy's Restaurant

Downtown Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, is a beautiful area to shop during the Christmas season. Main Street is decorated really beautifully: decorated Christmas trees everywhere, and of course, the famous Moravian Stars are everywhere. (And in fact, my husband and I had had our wedding reception at the Hotel Bethlehem, which is at one end on Main Street.) 

My mother, father-in-law, husband, and I did some shopping at the Moravian Book Shop, which has many, many Christmas ornaments (some of which are really interesting and unusual), as well as, of course, the Moravian stars. We then stopped off for tea and lunch at McCarthy's Restaurant, which is part of Donegal Square, an Irish and British Isles store.

My husband and I shared a large pot of Cream Irish Breakfast tea,
while my mother had a small pot of decaffeinated Irish Breakfast tea.
Even my coffee-drinking father-in-law got a pot of tea!

My husband, my father-in-law, and I each had the Irish Fry,
which included two eggs (I got mine over easy),
white pudding, black pudding, a pork sausage link,
bacon, and delicious brown bread.
