Grafton Street
-
Considered to be the premier shopping street on the south side of the Liffey, Grafton Street is also a pedestrianized venue for street musicians, performers and flower-sellers. There is the usual eclectic mix of high street shops, and ugly neon signs clash with the more classical features of such shop-fronts as Marks & Spencer. The street runs south from College Green, marked by the statue of Molly Malone (irreverently known as “the tart with the cart”), opening out onto St Stephen’s Green at the southern end. Brown Thomas is one of the street’s famous high-class department stores and Bewley’s Oriental Café, with a shop at the front selling traditional Irish foodstuffs, is another popular landmark (see Bewley’s Oriental Café).
