I found myself in Dublin this past weekend, visiting the Irish city with a few close friends from my youth. While the city isn't particularly known for its architectural masterpieces, one of my favorite aspects of the city is the brickwork all over the place -- on the buildings, around the Guinness factory, covering the street. This photo by Mister Rad shows that work around some of the front ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Jul 18th, 2008 at 11:30AM: The lead singer and lead guitarist of U2, Bono and The Edge, won a protracted legal battle yesterday in their effort to renovate and expand Dublin's Clarence hotel, which they own. The Clarence, located near the Temple Bar district of Dublin, is one of the city's most famous hotels. The architect that the two musicians have hired for the $235 million renovation plan intends to completely gut the ...Where to find the world's 10 best rooftop bars

That being said, the National Wax Museum in Dublin was recently shut down to make room for a hotel. Its relocation has been delayed due, in part, to city officials "citing the wax museum's lack of cultural ...Where to Get Your Drink On
Apr 11th, 2007 at 12:58PM: For those of you looking to get roaring drunk on your next holiday abroad, you're probably in the market for a really good pub crawl. I spent my college days in Liverpool -- formerly rated the UK's number 1 party city -- so, rest assured, I know what I'm talking about.
