I love the area around Meath Street. It's still the real Dublin, it's not full of tourists. It still smells of the Guinness Brewery down the road. It's got some peaceful hidden corners, like the grotto at St Catherine's church, where you can sit in quiet contemplation, and then you can get back onto the busy street and go for a nice coffee or tea at Legit Coffee, and if you're lucky you will get the window seat and have a great view of the street. I spent a wonderful hour or so there with Nathalie from Belgium. We chatted and sketched and it felt good. And I love it that the graffiti on the Vets shutter reads SPUD. I love Dublin.
