“BRIDES OF SATAN! BRIDES OF SATAN!” This was famously shouted by ‘Maggie with the Crucifix’ at a group of passing nuns back in the 1980s. The startled nuns ran down O’Connell Street with their gowns and habits billowing in the wind – and Maggie ran after them. Now, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was […]

They’ll have African drummers, a banging dancefloor, […]

Now I must admit that I am a horrific cook […]

I hate cyclists… Okay, before every bike riding person attacks me, I have my reasons! This is a huge generalisation on my part, but because of all the ‘rogue riders’ on Dublin’s roads I now paint them all with the same brush. I do understand that the majority of cyclists probably feel a certain degree […]

If there’s one thing we love in the Lovin Dublin office, it’s a takeaway challenge. Mainly because it’s a great excuse for an indulgent lunch meeting! This week we decided to tackle a very controversial challenge… To find the best burritos in Dublin. While we did a Top 5 Burritos list before, that was way […]

So you’ve no doubt been invited to a New Years Eve party, whether that be a night at your neighbour’s house or a piss up (sorry, reunion) with all your college friends. While you’ve resolved to have a dry January, turn your life around and become a yoga instructor by the end of February, you […]
