If you're fond of a burrito then this is the place for you. It's not a "formal" restaurant, food is served in disposable items. this place will be perfect for you if you are in need of a quick and filling meal or maybe get a take away and bring it to a park. There are a few of them around the city and country

This is without a doubt the best place to get a Vietnamese Pho. It's not the most attractive place to eat but the food is amazing! There is normally a queue for a table and you might have to sit with a stranger, its not the kind of place you'll sit and relax after your meal

The gaol speaks for itself really, its one of Dublin's top attractions. It was the Patagonian prison in the world and holds significant prominence in the story of Ireland's independence. If you want to visit here make sure to book tickets a few weeks in advance or you will be disappointed. this is a 10 minute walk from my place

Set in a Georgian townhouse, 14 Henrietta Street tells the story of the building’s shifting fortunes, from family home and powerbase to courthouse; from barracks to its final incarnation as a tenement house. The stories of the house and street mirror the story of Dublin and her citizens. See the house, hear its stories and discover the layers of Dublin history within its walls. 14 Henrietta Street is only accessible by guided tour. Tours last approximately 75 minutes and pre-booking is advised.
Closed on Monday and Tuesday.
If you have watched Penny Dreadful, this is a street you might be familiar with

Getting Around
My apartment is close to a Luas stop, Goldenbridge, on the red line. You can easily and quickly get to the city centre. It runs from about 06:30 and until 00:30 so its a later option than the bus
You can find these bikes all over the city and its a pay per use service, the great thing about these is that you can pick them up and drop them back anywhere. Make sure to download the app and follow the instructions to use

Similar to bike rentals in all other cities, stations are dotted around the city, you take a bike from one and it needs to be dropped back to another fixed station. you can buy a daily pass or on for a few days - Bleep Bikes are better in my opinion
