While in Ireland last month I really enjoyed speaking with @enterprise_ireland advising from my experience on running a Gaeltacht at @sxsw’s Ireland House 🇮🇪 🍋 Wondering where you can get a Club Lemon in NYC 😏 When I found out @taramorny had it, I did not walk, I RAN. They’re located v conveniently next to Penn Station (city center). You’ll see too, paired beautifully with a @ballymaloe_house (from Cork!) burger 🍔 🛍️ Ending the weekend with a visit to @bloomingdales in SoHo to shop at my one and only, @sandroparis. Every 👚 you see me wear... it’s Sandro. @kildarevillage made me obsessed. 🍔 Weekend closing with a taste of @bartleydunnes new Irish chipper menu. When moving to another country, there are things you know you’ll miss. And the chipper is one of them 😆 🎼 Music is “Brewing up a storm” by Irish band @thestunningband Le gach dea ghuí With every good wish to you all ☘️ Vivienne P.S it’s Paddy’s, not Patty’s 🤫
