I was introduced tp the concept of a carvery which struck me as very akin to a deli or the type of kitchen shop described in Peyps's journals. Sit down formal public restaurants are an odd artifact of the French Revolution if my reading is correct.
First things first, you really do have to send postcards to mecha people. After that, you can find all the fun things to do. There's gotta be a mechazen or mefite who live there who can show you around. Have you posted in IRL for a meetup? I bet folks would love to meet you, Whelkie-poo. You're famous on the intertoobs!
The last time I was there I went to the Fiorucci store and bought a totally awesome hot pink net skirt.
Oh wait.
That was 1986. It is possible the Fiorucci store is no longer there.
I bet you can still go to Trinity College though and see the Book of Kells and then there's this tour, which sounds fun as hell. Here's a map for a self guided version. I swear I saw another self guided version somewhere online not long ago that looked even better but I can't find it now.
Take the bus to the hill of Tara.
Go to Oscar Wilde's house.
Go to the Kilmainham Gaol
Go to the Shaw birthplace ( I saw a ghost).
See the sheela na gigs at the Archeology museum
1. K, walk up to the nearest cop (do they call them that?) and ask him/her, "what are the three places in Dublin you would NEVER go to?" Then go to them.
Yeah the full menu after seven thing is getting used to, but the pigs ear does a great menu in what appears to be someone's living room. Excellent roast duck and artichoke soup.
