Long considered a tough town on the way from Shannon to somewhere else, Limerick has become a much hipper place in recent years.
Here’s a compendium of 10 things I like about the New Limerick – seek them out, and discover some Limerick gems of your own!
King John's Castle
Super-cool place to bring kids -- lots of history from Viking times to the 21st century -- worth a look!
The George Boutique Hotel
Moderately-priced business hotel, central to all of downtown and the river. Friendly staff and a decent Italian restaurant onsite.
Milk Market
Beautiful array of artisanal foods and handcrafted items for a taste of modern Ireland.
Lena's Sewing and Craft Shop
Everything for the home sewer, knitter and crochet artiste. Mostly acrylic yarns but a nice assortment of wool as well as cotton threads. Friendly and helpful staff.
Number One Pery Square
Elegance personified...luxury boutique hotel and award-winning restaurant make this venue a worthwhile Limerick splurge.
Hook and Ladder
Trendy and intriguing combo of cafe, cookery school and furniture showroom - a growing chain.
Taikichi Japanese Restaurant
