I've decided to do some posts periodically about some of the greatest places to go while in Cork. I've been here for less than a week, but this list is already getting long.
I'll start with my favorite place so far: The English Market.
Cork's English Market is a covered market that has existed since 1786. The market hosts over 100 stands ranging from meat, fish, dairy, bread, pastries, fruits and veggies, and almost anything else you can think of. My roommates and I make a daily trip to the market to buy dinner to cook for the night. Also, the market has its own cafe! It's always bustling but it has an amazing old-time feel to it. I could stay in there all day just watching the intriguing characters it draws each day!
My roommates and I have already become friends with the sweet old man in the labcoat in the picture below. I can barely understand him but his Irish brogue always makes me smile when I'm buying my fruits and vegetables!
