16 Best Things to Do in Dublin | Condé Nast Traveler

"The Winding Stair is Dublin's beloved bookstore with a restaurant upstairs. UK and European editions of contemporary literature, as well as classics like Joyce and Yeats, are easy to find on the shelves. If you're stumped finding your next read, ask the clerk behind the desk to help curate a list of titles for you, preferably something that may help you remember your trip or enrich your time in Ireland. Grab a good book and head above for views of the River Liffey and an upscale, traditional Irish meal like seafood chowder, smoked haddock, or potato dumplings. Don't be shy about asking for wine pairings off the lengthy list." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
