A wee jaunt to Scotland – A Sylvan dinner

Standard

Friday, 19-Sept-2025

I love getting an excuse to go out to a fancy dinner.

Dressing up, being excited for unique food… just really any excuse to have a bit of extra fun that I wouldn’t normally have, you know?

Sylvan was our chosen restaurant for the evening – mainly vegan, with a few vegetarian options for those who like cheese. Not my normal fare, to be clear, but something Andrea was very excited for. And thus – I was excited too.

And dear lord was it worth the excitement. Seriously, some of the best food I’ve had in the UK / Ireland, not a question. Just incredibly good.

Settling into Dublin – Food!

Standard

The start of August, 2024


After making my way to Dublin, I set about getting used to town. Finding an apartment, adventures, climbing gyms and lifting weights… all of those revolve around good food. And hey – If I’m going to be settling into a city, I’ve got to know where the good food is, right?

And so, I started exploring.



I went with my Dad’s suggestion for finding the best restaurants in the North End, from when I first moved to Boston to start working on my Undergrad degree – “Wander around, follow your nose, and trust in what smells good.”

I wandered, I kept my senses open, and found quite a few good spots!

I’ll actually avoid listing them all out here, unlike the other cities I’ve wandered, simply because there were too many and I wasn’t keeping as tight a set of records as I was while on the Grand Adventure – but that’s fine. I’m settled down here, right? I don’t need to enumerate every little spot… I’ll be here for a while, and I can always find the good places again when I need.
