The Pros and Cons of Nintendo Games Consoles

Since the 1970’s, Nintendo have been producing consoles that have entertained the generations and it’s likely that their success will continue for years to come.

Little Frieda’s Café: Deansgrange’s Hidden Gem

Although I work in Deansgrange, I’ll be the first to admit that it lacks the social life, dainty shops and picturesque scenery that other parts of Dublin boast. However, what Deansgrange does have is one of my all-time favourite cafés. Namely, Little Frieda’s. Breakfast, brunch or lunch – you’ll not be disappointed!

Maybe this is because it is tucked away, just off Pottery Road, quietly nesting behind the car park of Lidl. Food Little Frieda’s is ideal if you’re looking for breakfast on […]
