The city is finding a new way to exist — neither ostentatious with wealth nor bowed down under debt. A hugely popular bike share program has replaced the “beamers,” craft beer is gaining precedence over elaborate cocktails, and Dublin restaurants are undergoing a creative renaissance that prioritizes imagination and Irish ingredients over heavily stylized and overpriced dishes.
FIGHT!

It’s The Food Issue
By Waterford I.T. graduate (currently interning and soon to be available) Colm O’Connor.
Colm says:
This cover was designed especially for the Food Issue. I had a bit of a panic attack when I was told this issue usually trends but I got my act together, jotted down a few ideas, and decided this was the one. You can’t beat a payday when you don’t have to make your own packed lunch!
When asked if they’re willing to stay,
At work on their own holiday,
Almost eight percent will,
Keep toiling until,
They’re worn out, exhausted and grey.
