Trinity College Library

Trinity College Library: part book museum, part MC Escher

sketch.A must-stop for any first-timer to Dublin, Trinity

College is the equivalent of Irelands Ivy Leagueuniversity, and its Old Library is truly a sight to

behold: stacks upon stacks of teetering ancient

wooden bookshelves that seem to go on and up for

miles.

Admission includes a visit to theBook of Kells,an

ornate manuscript of the Gospels, which Celtic monks

decorated by hand in the ninth century.

Old Jameson Distillery

Jameson is the best-selling Irish whiskey in the world.Most people skip this

surprisingly modern museum of whiskey in favor of the museum of a

well-known stout, but the Old Jameson Distillery really is a Dublin

must.

Instead of a do-it-yourself walkabout, this guided tour opens with a(thankfully) short, informative film and is conducted by guides who

really know their stuff.

The tour covers the basics of whiskey distilling, but also gives you a foundation in what

distinguishes Jameson from other whiskeys and whiskies, and culminates with a free tasting.

Tip: stand near the front of the group and act quickly when the guide asks for volunteers --

youll be treated to an extended tasting at the end.

Hapenny Bridge

These days, you can keep the half penny for yourself.This white, cast-iron bridge

over the River Liffey has become an icon of Dublin, with its ornate

design and quaint lampposts.

TheHapenny Bridgeis so named for the toll of one halfpenny

originally charged to cross it.

When it was built in 1816, the Hapenny Bridge was the first iron bridge across the Liffey.

Prior to its construction, most pedestrians had to ferry across the river.

Literary Pubs

It's said that Toners is the only pub WB Yeats ever frequented. "He was known to sip

a sherry and leave."If the proverbial writer loves to drink, then Irish writers

are professional imbibers.

Some of Irelands most acclaimed writers, from James Joyce to

Brendan Behan, have celebrated Dublins pubs by either immortalizing

them in prose or downing pints by the dozen within them.

These are a few of the best that remain wonderful pubs even outside their literary

connections:

The Pigs Ear

Honey-roasted Fermanagh pork belly with Lakeshore mustard mash, braised lentils and apple

sauce.Overseen by chef Stephen McAllister, known for his cooking shows on national Irish

TV, the Pigs Ear is bringing to Dublin a touch of the death of fine dining trend so prevalent

across the pond in London.

Seasonal Irish ingredients are cooked inventively, but approachably.

The restaurants location in an Georgian building overlooking Trinity College doesnt hurt --

creaky wooden floors, high ceilings and big windows lend to the Pigs Ears a country -chic

vibe.

The whiskey and citrus-cured salmon is a particular delight, as is the puntastic tongue n

cheek Guinness pie.

Epicurean Food Hall

There should be no confusion about what kind of establishment this is. If you

didnt know the Epicurean Food Hall existed, you might never find it,

despite it being located on a busy section of Lower Liffey Street justover the Hapenny Bridge.

Taking the idea of food court to a different level, the Epicurean

Food Hall is tightly packed with different international vendors

peddling everything from artisanal Irish sandwiches to Turkish food

and quick pastas.

The tacos at aptly named Taco Taco are among the most authentic Mexican on offer in

Dublin. Plenty of seating is available in the center of the hall and the small-price-for-heaping-

portion philosophy here represents great value for lunch on a budget.

Epicurean Food Hall:1 Lower Liffey St., Dublin 1; +353 1 283 6077; budget

Temple Bar Food MarketA good way on a Saturday to get past your hangover from Friday.It

wasnt so long ago that Dublin was a culinary wasteland.

But as times have changed, so has the food landscape of the city,

especially the bohemian Temple Bar district, which now hosts a food

market each Saturday.

More than a farmers' market, this is a place to come and eat, to grab

some seriously fresh Irish cheese, pesto and a loaf of bread baked that

morning and sit along the Liffey for a picnic.

Seafood lovers will also want to sit down for a bucket of oysters and glass of wine at St.

Martin Shellfish; John Mac gets his oysters from the Atlantic each Friday and theyre in your

stomach by Saturday morning.

John Kavanagh (aka Gravediggers)

Mass settlements.For the few and proud who can find their way to this North Side fixture, it's

the best pub in all of Dublin.

Operated by the namesake family that established it in 1833, Gravediggers sits beside the

sweeping Glasnevin Cemetery. It earned its nickname by purportedly serving lunchtime pints

to Glasnevins gravediggers through a special window onto the graveyard.

John Kavanagh is old and wooden and about the only thing they pour here is Guinness. And

it's good.

In recent years, the owner has begun serving top-notch Irish-Italian fare in an adjoining

room, which has drawn such foodie celebs as Anthony Bourdain.

You have to take a bus and walk up an all-but-invisible alleyway to reach Gravediggers, but

there's something unabashedly wonderful about the place that keeps regulars coming back

for lifetimes.

Gravediggers: 1 Prospect Sq., Glasnevin, Dublin 9; +353 1 830 7978; budget

Mulligans

A time capsule of beer drinking.To find out what a Dublin

pub looked like a couple of hundred years ago, one need

look no further than Mulligans of Poolbeg Street, which has

been in continuous operation since 1782.

The wood floors are permanently damp from generations of

beer slosh, the pew seating is uncomfortable and the

ceilings are lower than men of average height might prefer,

but it all adds to Mulligans ambiance.

It has been said many times that Mulligans pours the best Guinness in Dublin. If you drink

only one pint of the good stuff in Dublin, Mulligans is the place to do it.

Georges Street Arcade

As promised, knickknacks. Or is this bric-a-brac? Precious little Victorian-era British architecture

has survived (or, indeed, was ever constructed) in Dublin, but the Georges Street Arcade is

one example.

This long, airy shopping arcade was constructed of iconic red brick and wrought iron and

now houses a series of shops in the permanent retail spaces along each side, as well as

more temporary stalls down the middle, selling records, vintage clothing and knickknacks.

Georges Street is worth a stop as much for its architectural beauty as for the fun of digging

through the vendors goodies, and Simons Coffee Shop at the west end is a perennial

favorite for unemployed locals to hobnob or laze over The Irish Times.

George's Street Arcade:S. Great Georges St., Dublin 2; budget

Grafton Street

High-end shoppers in Dublin take it to the street.Dublins main shopping area runs right through the

city center, south of the River Liffey. Now a pedestrian-only zone during business hours,

Grafton Street owes much of its lovely ambiance to the red brick with which it was paved.

Stretching for several "blocks" -- if Dublin had such things -- Grafton Street is the Irish

equivalent of a British high street, boasting many international and local stores and the

famed Irish department storeBrown Thomas,in case youve a hankering for Chanel or

Gucci.

Though often incredibly crowded with shoppers, especially on a Saturday, Grafton Street is a

one-stop affair for clothes hounds and musos alike. At the south end, the Stephens Green

Shopping Centre is a beautiful wrought iron Victorian shopping arcade home to even more

well-known brands.

11. Catch some traditional Irish sounds at the Cobblestone

The Cobblestoneis a gem. The musicians' corner downstairs attracts traditional players whom you

would pay to see elsewhere, and the paying venue upstairs rarely books a duff band. It often

showcases traditional and folk music. Overall, it's cosy, while eschewing unnecessary frills; if you

want to avoid excessive paddy-whackery in favour of a genuine traditional Dublin pub atmosphere,

come here.

1. Experience Dublin as the locals do

Despite its unsavoury reputation in past years, Temple Bar is one of the city's most charmingneighbourhoods and residents are trying hard to keep it that way. Cobblestone streets, bars, cafs,

art galleries and architectural splendour harmoniously blend with old streetscapes and eco-friendly

schemes. Among the cultural attractions are Dublin's only art-house cinema at theIrish Film Institute,

theGallery of Photographyand theProject Arts Centre.

2. Sip a perfect pint at Kehoe's

If all you came to Dublin for is the Guinness, then camp out atKehoe's.The bar's friendly staff keep

the mugs full and on a busy night the crowd huddles around the stairs - neighbourhood tavern style.

The elegant wooden fitting has an old-school character and the snugs are delightful, which makes

drinking here a rich experience. But a word of advice, the bathrooms are to be avoided if you fear

small spaces.

3. Brush with royalty at the Dublin Castle

This isn't how you'd imagine a castle in the traditional sense. There's no moat, no drawbridge to loweragainst invading hordes, no turrets from which to pour boiling oil. It's more a collection of 18th-century

administrative buildings, albeit fine ones, built on a medieval plan of two courtyards.Dublin

Castlehosts grand diplomatic or state functions, and occasional performances like concert recitals.

The beautiful interior is accessible on a pay-per-view basis, but you can wander freely around the

castle.

12. Discover a well-kept secret at the Cake Caf

In a concealed courtyard, theCake Cafis an adorable venture that has already won itself a loyalfollowing. The air inside is warm with the smell of heavenly own-made cakes, biscuits, pies and

cupcakes, sandwiches, great salads (caramelised pear, blue cheese and walnut) and some more

ambitious hot dishes. Everything is served on artfully mismatched crockery and the staff are

delightfully welcoming. A hidden treasure.

13. Stroll through the Dubh Linn Gardens

If you don't want to pay to get intoDublin Castlethen stroll around the Dubh Linn Gardens hidden

behind. It's the original place of the dubh linn (dark pool), from where the city drew its name and wasrecently landscaped into a garden. Though most tourists don't know about it, it's extremely popular

with office goers as a lunch venue. Sometimes, it's also used as a helicopter-landing site.

14. Get arty at the Dublin Fringe Festival

The Dublin Fringe festival (www.fringefest.com)is as established an event as its Scottish counterpart.

Usually a mixed bag of performances in September, the festival is dedicated to promoting new

companies, and showcasing experimental material. The emphasis, of course, is on the unusual and

the performances are innovative.

Loft Market,a New York-style indoor fashion market attracts local fashion junkies and hip students on

the trail of individual, one-off looks, which are the stock in trade of the young designers and artists

who share this space. There are plenty of vintage items of clothing and jewellery on sale.

If youre visiting on a shoestring, Dublin has an abundance of free attractions andevents for you to enjoy year round.

Galleries...

The Science Galleryon the Trinity College campus is the first of its kind in the world

and a movable feast of sensory wonders. Equally creative is theNational Gallery of

Ireland.Keep your eyes peeled forHellelil and Hilderbrand, The Meeting on the

Turret Stairs by Frederick William Burton.This masterpiece was recently voted

Irelands favourite painting. Stretch your mind and imagination with a visit to theIrish

Museum of Modern Art (IMMA)or take in an impressionist or two at theDublinCity Gallery, The Hugh Lane.

Shopping & Dining...

Shopping in Dublin doesnt need to be a break-the-bank experience. For a taste of

real Dublin, the Liberty Market is a must see. Moore Street has an abundance of fruit

and vegetables at rock-bottom prices, and Asian Markets around the city stock a
