8 Streets for Stopping
After spending 78 days in Dublin, I can name a few streets that are extra-special, each for their own reason, here goes:1. Grafton Street
Grafton Street is this giant shopping street always full of life. Whether you're in the mood for something to eat, some retail therapy, or people watching, Grafton St is the place to be. There also is no car traffic on the street during the day, so it's nice and walkable.
2. O'Connell Street
O'Connell Street is the second widest street in Europe! Les Champs Elysees are the widest by only one foot more than O'Connell Street. It is also very historic as it was home to the rebels during the 1916 Rising (inside the General Post Office).
3. Drury Street
This street makes the foodie inside of me happy. Drury street is full of gluten-free, paleo, healthy cafes and food stops. It is also smack dab in the middle of Dublin's Creative Quarter, so the people there are cool to see.
4. Exchequer Street
Exchequer street is home to my favorite restaurant, Cornucopia, so it had to make the list.
5. St-George's Arcade
This is a cool, covered street. Inside are merchants who tend to change in and out. There is almost a small-town feel to the inside of this street since everyone is super friendly.
6. College Street
College Street is home to Trinity College, so this was a no-brainer.
7. Burgh Quay
Burgh Quay lies along the south side of the River Liffey and makes for a nice walk when I'm in the mood to walk along the side of the river. Also, River Bar (home of SalsaDublin) is along this street, so you can usually find me here in the evenings.
8. North Circular Road
North Circular Road leads to both Phoenix Park and my home for the summer. Phoenix Park is a nice place to work out and home is home!!
