2 Blogs for Dublin

A pair of Dublin historians keeping count of the city's pubs and lanes, and the independent paper's series on overlooked art

Dublin has an enormous amount written about it, and most of it is the same list. Two local sources do something different. One is a long-running blog by two Dublin historians about the city's pubs, lanes and odd corners. The other is the city's independent paper, which has a series on art hiding in plain sight.

That is the honest count. Several other Dublin blogs turned out to be advertorial, dormant, or written for search engines rather than readers.
