    Agreed on René Cusack, with regard to both price and quality, having eaten in the Market premises a couple of times.

    Haven't been back in a while though, as my last experience there rubbed my OCD the wrong way. The girl who was working there used her hands, which were also taking money, to transfer the food into their containers.

    Pretty gross IMO.

    I see mention on social media of a Street Food Market on the Boardwalk today, any idea what this entails and how many stalls would be there?

    I saw a few photos and they showed 5 stalls but there might be more.

    I'd say there were 6-7 stalls there on Wednesday. I had a curry from Khing Thai (who have a restaurant up town) for €6.50. Hopefully it'll grow.

    I think it's a good initiative, brings people down by the river. Imagine the entire boardwalk with stalls, would be deadly

    What if it takes from other businesses?

    Not saying I disagree with you, but if we're to learn anything from the Great Limerick Burrito Wars of 2016 it's that the Council should tread carefully when incentivising business in the city.

    There's a line somewhere that they should probably not cross. Not sure where that line is, but it should be discussed.

    I think there's enough business to go around, a few stalls set up once a week won't see places closing [I'm aware of the irony of me saying that given Burritogate] - the more things that bring people down to the riverfront the better

    The council really need to keep on top of the rubbish collection down on the riverfront, was down there on Monday and it was filthy. I know people should put their rubbish away but there arent a lot of bins.

    It's a shame the recent riverfront works were so badly designed. It could be a lot better down there.

    definitely needs more seating - I'd love to see riverside concerts there, especially when the weather is fine

    The two lanes for one-way traffic are completely unnecessary and they encourage the cars to go that bit too fast. Of course, because there's faster traffic there's hundreds of very hideous white bollards delineating the road from the pedestrian area.

    By right there should be no distinction between the road area and the pedestrian area, and this would result in far slower traffic.

    Also, if there was only one lane, there would have been no need to build the boardwalk, which is quite ugly from every vantage point unless you are actually standing on it. You'd still have plenty of space for a great promenade-type amenity.

    The work around of the steps down to the river leaves much to be desired also. And there's quite a bit of clutter aside from the millions of bollards (i.e. flagpoles, etc).

    Curraghower isn't too good because its outdoor area faces northeast-ish and is in the shade most of the time.

    Milano or The Locke get plenty of sunshine but they aren't great restaurants.

    Limerick is very poorly served for al fresco dining unfortunately.

    Some of the cafés are nice for a coffee outside, but don't be expecting great food.

    The Urban Garden outside Penneys is pretty amazing. Quite a bold step in rejuvenating the city centre really :pac: :pac: :pac:

    In fairness, Nancys is doing fine as it is. Was in there Saturday night and could hardly move it was so packed! Whatever about a place to dine al fresco, Limerick could badly do with a few alternative late bars to Nancys!
