I miss Dublin

I have no clue what's going on with me this week/month. I think it could have something to do with the fact it's been over a year since I was last in Dublin, and I miss it terribly :( So this is a list more so than a blog. But the following are the things I miss most about Dublin (in no particular order):

  • Hogans on Georges St
  • The Foggy Dew
  • Thing Mote
  • RiRa
  • Georges St Arcade
  • Dun Laoghaire pier
  • Howth
  • Fagans
  • Secret/No Name bar on Fade St
  • Wagamamas
  • Octagon Bar
  • Grafton Street
  • Marks & Sparks ready meals
  • marks & Sparks orange chocolate mini rolls in a tub
  • UGC cinema
  • heading into Conways for a swifty after UGC
  • Rody Bolands
  • The Barge on a sunny evening
  • Scruffy Murphys
  • I miss Vitsy and Booby
  • I miss the #10 bus (sometimes, I know, I know)
  • I miss walking from Phibsboro into city
  • The Grave Diggers on a sunny evening
  • The DUUUBBLA accent
  • the HEDDDILD
  • Sleazy O'Connell Street

Ok I cannot go on, I could, but I won't. I lived for a total of 7 years in Dublin and I loved it. Well, most of the time. I am now living in NYC and while I DO LOVE it here, I am a tad homesick for Dublin, I'll admit it. Mulligans for a pint sounds excellent right now! Dammit.

    I can't believe you miss the number 10! It's like a mobile example of everything that's wrong with the city :) Still, good call on the pier, foggy dew and wagamamas. The girl's got taste.
