Looking for five great pop-up markets or street food stalls? What about where can you see five marvellous murals or examples of wall art, or even five of the most unique walks to do in Dublin?
Well now you can find out allllll of these and more in a gorgeous book, The 500 Hidden Secrets of Dublin.
Genuinely, this is one of the handiest little books we've read in a long time: it's been living in my handbag for the past month and I think I might leave it in there to consult any time I'm looking for something quirky to do in town.
Author Shane O'Reilly shares his 500 favourite places in his hometown, Dublin, like the wood panelled and plush club serving as a multi-purpose Arts Centre, Ireland's oldest reggae store, or the stunning and family-run delicatessen serving up delicious seafood right from the ocean half a mile away.
The book is divided into 10 different sections, including:
It's a serious treasure trove of fun little places you'd never think of exploring, pubs steeped in literary history, the best seafood places, and deadly ideas for weekend adventures.
Here's a few of the highlights from this lovely little leabhar...
As for hotspots to eat and drink? This recommends Bagots Hutton, Olesya's, and La Cave for some tasty wine and cheese, and District 8, Yamamori Tengu and Hangar for some lively clubbing.
Seriously, whether you're a Dublin blow-in or a true blue, we guarantee you'll discover something new in this. We know we have.
The 500 Hidden Secrets Of Dublin is on sale now, in Easons, Dubray Bookshops, Amazon and most other book stores.
