Honey, we’re home! You may notice some differences in the blog in the upcoming days/weeks. Right now, you may be noticing the amount of spam that has gotten through what with the upgrade and all. I’m dealing with it!
Anyhoo, we dubbed this little strip of shops in Dublin the “New York Street” because it had Bedford Stuy Barbers, a New York Ray’s Pizza (not the original though) and Flip Vintage. Ok, so Flip isn’t native to NYC, but I used to shop at the one on W. 8th Street all the time, so it made me homesick.
This Irish-now-American tourist insisted on being in the shot. Says he’s living in Bed Stuy now. Never saw him before in my life.

I remember Flip! The highlight of my shopping experience there was seeing Joe Jackson browsing. (The new-wave star, not Michael’s freakface father.) Then finally tearing myself away and going outside and seeing Joey and another Ramone at the pizza place nearby.
I used to see Joe Jackson eating at Shojin from time to time. Shojin was my favorite vegetarian restaurant and unfortunately, it closed years ago.
