21 reasons living in Dublin will ruin you for life
1. Because of this view across the bay on a summer evening
2. And this one, across the canal on a rare day of sunshine
3. Because a pint in Fallons on a wet night is one of the most perfect experiences
4. Because the zoo has this sign for children
5. Because you’re never more than 50 yards from a hot chicken fillet roll.
6. Because yes, the Georgian doorways are nice…
7. … but locals know the real highlight are the redbrick Victorian streets
8. Because everyone has a favourite nickname for a landmark
9. Because whenever you smell hops and malt, anywhere, for the rest of your life, it’ll remind you
10. Because everyone knows the sausage rolls in Lolly & Cooks can cure any hangover
11. Because you can run into the President walking your dog.
12. Because the Poolbeg lighthouse, minutes from the city centre, feels like another world
13. Because Blessington Basin is, and will always be, the city’s best-kept secret
14. Because there are 1.5million people, from all places and walks of life, but everyone agrees about one thing
15. Because when celebrations are called for, Dublin takes it to the street
And even the traffic updates join in.
16. Because of the venerable inner-city Dublin pub that is also a vibrant Korean restaurant
17. Because the city’s bar staff are second to none
18. Because you can eat oysters harvested in the West the day before, or lamb reared in Laois, or a toastie made with Co Dublin potatoes (trust us it works), all in one place
19. Because people here care that things are done right
20. Because of that moment when you’re coming home very, very late and the street sweepers are out and the city feels like it’s yours
21. And because you’ll never trust a seagull ever again.
