Five Weird or Great Things This Week

April 25, 2013

rolling donut The Rolling Donut shop that will be opening on Capel Street/Camden Street. It’s apparently an extension of the little donut hut on O’Connell Street that looks a little iffy but everyone says is amazing. Count me in.

four wheelers dublin These guys driving up and down the streets of Dublin. What do we think they were doing? Ghost busters?

pigeon on car This car rolled through Temple Bar while I was giving a tour last week. Can you catch the little man catching a ride?

granny graffiti I found the street art mecca just off Francis Street. It needs a whole post but here’s a preview.

skin exhibit The skin exhibit in the Royal Hibernian Academy was quite icky. This was the only piece I was willing to take a photo of. The rest were just too vivid.

And that is all I’ve got for you on this Thursday, friends. Happy almost weekend!

    I’m looking forward to your graffiti post! dublin has so many gems scattered around. I don’t know if it is the bit you mean but there’s an amazing banksy-ish drawing of a little boy sitting i think (hopefully its still there) at the end of francis street, st patrick’s cathedral side. I keep meaning to take a picture of it everytime I go to Oxfam home! xmoira

      I don’t, but I’m planning one on the heels of our blogger event a few weeks ago. Certainly time to tell my readers about the great Irish blogs out there! Look for it next week I think! And hopefully meet you in a few months!

    The rolling donut definitely looks iffy but it’s deelish! The cinnamon sugar ones are perfect with a cup of coffee… a nice treat if you don’t feel like a big pastry.
