When you think steak dinner, you think special occasion, crisp tablecloths and no-phones-at-the-table ground rules. You don’t usually think viral Tiktoks and bottomless fries. So naturally, we were a bit sceptical as we made our way to Crow Street for Boeuf & Frites, the newest addition to the ever-growing Boeuf Dublin family. Managers Paul and […]

The sunshine is creeping out more and more, and it’s got us in the mood for something a little more Mediterranean. 2023 was the year Spanish cuisine really took off in Dublin, and we think it’s going to be a go-to for 2024 too. Small plates are on the never-ending rise, and if you’re looking […]

The most Irish month in the calendar is approaching, so you best get prepared for it. January dragged out like a pair of hair extensions long past their best-before date, hanging on until the bitter end, but February, on the other hand, has been flying despite being a leap year. Before we know it, March […]

Is there anything better than an icy, salty and bitter margarita after a long day’s work? February 22nd is officially National Margarita Day, and if you’re partial to the tequila based cocktail, you might be in the mood to celebrate.  Margaritas are the kind of drink you crave with an unquenchable thirst until you’re seven […]

“Is DCC going to protect or close down another Arts and Community Space?” D-Light Studio, based in Ballybough, have taken to socials to appeal for help as they are at “huge risk of closure”. https://www.instagram.com/p/C3IrSAasxf8/?img_index=1 The studio is a social enterprise, where profits go directly towards developing and curating not-for-profit initiatives such as: Artists’ residencies […]

Another month, another mid-term for the wee cherubs of Ireland. It can be a struggle keeping little ones occupied for a whole week – especially after they’ve eaten their weight in Nutella-laden pancake stacks. Luckily there are no shortage of great activities for families across Dublin, and we’ve taken it upon ourselves to round up […]

Your existence is resistance and also because it’s time to finally put yourself at the centre. Growing up, many of us (especially if we come from family backgrounds or cultural communities that emphasise sacrifice and collective well-being) were taught to put ourselves last. We learned that love meant readiness to serve. Self-reliance meant never asking […]

Never have we looked so forward to a new month before. At long last, the 1736 days of January are over, and with it comes your monthly salary which you have been counting down to since approximately January 3rd. For the majority of us, January has been the long and dull month it always is, […]

“Who made these? We need more!” Way back in 2022, long before Bella Baxter was stuffing pastéis de nata down her gullet with impunity we noted a rising trend of the custard tarts in Dublin, with three spots specialising in them opening in quick succession. Cut to now and Yorgos Lanthimos’ feminist Frankenstein sensation Poor […]

Stuck on where to eat this month? Something that struck me when looking back on our vegan-friendly list of last year was that so many of them have unfortunately closed down a year onwards – the likes of Bear Paw Deli, Yum Grub, Woke Cup café, and Thanks Plants have all shut down since we […]

Rain, hail, Storm Gerrit or shine, iced coffee remains the order of the day for many. There are a number of things that separate millennials from our younger, cooler, more emotionally engaged Gen Z counterparts. Low rise jeans vs. circulation-threatening skinnies. Girl dinner vs two bowls of Special K instead of actual meals every day […]

As Ireland continues to be battered by storm after storm, there’s one place we want to be. Cosied up in a pub corner by a roaring fire with a hot whiskey. Or a pint. Or whatever you’re having yourself, really. If you’ve spent the Christmas period at your parents house, wearing every fluffy sock in your […]
