Dublin: 13 °C Friday 8 November, 2024

If Dublin place names actually told the truth...

Life would be so much easier.

1. The Avocado Quarter

The Avocado Quarter can be found in Dublin 8 and encompasses parts of Portobello, Blackpitts, Camden Street and South Circular Road.

When residents of The Avocado Quarter aren’t taking photos of their avocado on toast or consuming €9.00 egg/avocado breakfasts, they’re talking about how hard it is to find ripe avocados and groping avocados in the supermarket.

2. Where All The Google Rides Live

“I’ll meet you by Barrow Street.”

“Sorry, what are you talking about?”

“Eh, by Google?”

3. The Mick Wallace Quarter

The Italian Quarter? So passé. 

This is Wexford TD Mick Wallace’s domain.

4. Pug Central

Better known as Ranelagh.

There are three pugs for every man in Ranelagh.

And the pugs like rugby, brunch and protein shakes.

5. Supermac’s

Let’s be real: Heuston is not so much a train station as it is a Supermacs conveniently located to a train track.

6. Drunken Shift Corner

Also known as where your Ma met your Da — AY-OH!
