Belfast, Ireland is My City

The first place I take a visitor from out of town is the St. George's Market on Friday: It's full of food, treasures, and local goods.

To escape university students I head to the Irish countryside!

If I want to hear the Irish language I go Falls Road or the Irish mass held every Sunday in City Centre.

For complete quiet, I can hide away in The Linen Hall Library, where it smells like fresh coffee and old books.

If you come to my city, get your picture taken with City Hall in the background, it's an ornate grey stone building.

If you have to order one thing off the menu from Maggie May's it has to be the Ulster Fry: a breakfast of fried things including but never limited to: tomatoes, soda bread, potato bread, pancake, bacon, and eggs. People will ask if you've tried it!

When I crave banana and Nutella crepes I always go to the St. George's Market on Saturday to buy one from the French crepe man.
