Busy time in town this month. February isn't many people's first choice when deciding to visit (the weather might have something to do with that!). But with lower airfares and a host of events happening ( , Dublin Chinese New Year Festival, Pigs On Parade to name a few) it's a great time to explore our city...

As the frenzy subsides and calm descends over Dublin, it's Christmastime in the city. We here at My Destination Dublin wish everyone all the best for a joyous, peaceful holiday. Nollaig Shona Daoibh!

Happy fourth night of Chanukah from Dublin! As you might imagine, it's a holiday that doesn't get much play around here, so imagine our surprise and excitement upon discovering latkes in the Fair City.

We had been meaning to visit Camerino, the adorable new bakery on Capel Street. When owner Caryna (of Caryna's Cakes) let us know that potato pancakes were being made for Chanukah, we hotfooted it over.

Of course spuds in various forms abound on menus here in Ireland's capital, but it appears this is the ONLY place to get these (served with apple, of course)!

You can find fresh challah at Camerino too, plus lunchtime sandwiches, sweet treats, Roasted Brown coffee and Clement & Pekoe tea. We'll be back...soon.

Ahhh, BuzzFeed. We weary of your clickbaity lists at times. 'Top 17 Funniest Internet Cats', 'What City Would You Be If You Were A City?' etc. But here is an exception...

So much more than Guinness.

The Fair City gets into the spirit with plenty of seasonal sparkle.

Our Thanksgiving lunch yesterday, a toasted turkey wrap courtesy of ely gastro bar!

You're probably aware there's no Thanksgiving in Ireland, but did you know we DO have Black Friday? Yes, consumerism is alive and well in Dublin with lots of sales on today. We hope everyone enjoyed a relaxing Thanksgiving wherever and however they celebrated...now, let the madness begin!

The Christmas Market at St Stephen's Green. Have you visited yet? It runs until the 22nd of December...

We love these! A fascinating window into Dublin's past. Be sure to check out Ghost Signs of Dublin - Antonia Hart here on FB...

Dublin contains hundreds of ‘ghost signs’, preserved on the facades of old shops and factories that are now occupied by food outlets, shoe shops or pubs. What were these businesses, and who were the Elverys, Combridges and Kapps who owned them?

Magpies rejoice! All that glitters appears to be crammed into Dublin's shops at the moment. Here's a peek at Dundrum Town Centre...
