Pro-Brunch, Anti-War

Another brunch, another great time catching up with friends. We were a smaller group than expected thanks to some serious train issues in Queens, but the five of us who did gather had a great brunch. Dublin 6 was surprisingly not crowded, which made for good service and the chance to take our time catching up over eggs and coffee. Brunch favorites, like Popover Cafe and Good Enough to Eat, which I love, are great, but they get a little intense during the rush. It's easy to feel hurried when you see a line of people waiting for your table and giving you the evil eye as you linger over yet another coffee refill. Feeling welcome to stay for as long as we liked was one of the great benefits of Dublin 6. Another benefit? The not one but two bloody marys that came with my breakfast!

The location proved good, too. After we all went our separate ways, Todd and I stumbled across an anti-war rally just a few blocks away. It was heartening to see so many people out there making themselves heard, and we joined in with them for a few blocks before heading back up town.

Getting there
