Fare alert! Take advantage of the fare war to Dublin! Jan 31st, 2009 at 7:15PM: It's been a little while since we've had a good hootenany like we're having this weekend. Dublin, as you know, is on sale from the United States, from almost every good port of departure. From Chicago, Grand Rapids, New York, Cleveland and many cities in the midwest, tickets are as low as $330 for travel into March. West of the Mississippi, from departures such as Los Angeles, prices are only $45 ...

Ten things you didn't know about Dublin

Ten things you didn't know about Dublin Nov 12th, 2008 at 10:30AM: Visiting any city for the first time is an exercise in setting expectations. You can only read so much about the culture, nightlife and food in a guidebook before you need to experience the locals first hand, order a pint of Guinness or eat shepherd's pie and really visit a destination. Setting foot out into the city streets, you begin to compare your first hand experiences against everything that ...

Photo of the Day (11.11.08)

Photo of the Day (11.11.08) Nov 11th, 2008 at 5:00PM: 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 ...

Where to find the world's 10 best rooftop bars

Where to find the world's 10 best rooftop bars Jul 16th, 2008 at 3:00PM: With summer in full swing it, finding good outdoor spaces to have a drink is the thing to do. Nothing says summer more than a couple of friends sitting on an outdoor terrace sharing a pitcher. But even better than your average terrace or patio has to be a rooftop. Stopping for an evening drink is an excellent activity, but if you can find a bar on top of a tall building with an excellent view of ...

Photo of the Day (11/28/07)

Photo of the Day (11/28/07) Nov 28th, 2007 at 11:00AM: My word, that ourmanwhere is some photographer. Both Neil, Adrienne and Iva have featured him before. This shot of the mallard duck reminds me of a combination of Realism and Impressionism. The way the duck is in sharp contrast to the dreamy, swirly water is amazing. This also reminds me of an Ohio scene. In Whetstone Park in Columbus there is a duck pond. This duck, however, had its photo ...

Dublin's Wax Museum Vandalized; Teletubbies go Missing, Madonna Loses Limbs

Dublin's Wax Museum Vandalized; Teletubbies go Missing, Madonna Loses Limbs Aug 12th, 2007 at 8:00AM: I've never really understood the appeal of wax museums, but apparently there are many tourists in this world who enjoy gazing upon wax replicas of history's villains, heroes, and stars. 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

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. But beyond the unchecked inebriation, and poorly-harmonized group renditions of "Lean On Me" that often accompany these sorts of ...
