Hidden Paris Paris Notes contributor and author of Paris Discovered : Explorations in the City of Light Friends and acquaintances often ask which is my very favorite of all the places I’ve visited and written about in Paris. Having fallen in love with so much of the City of Light, this is a tough one to answer. But I will have to say that some of my most memorable destinations have been the most unusual—those that haven’t made the guide books.

Some of these have given me new insights into familiar places, but many have taken me into unfamiliar territory—whether a museum, a cemetery, a park, or an entire quarter. Paris is a city of endless surprises, and walking is the best way to get to know it. Get yourself a good map or maps. And now, some of my favorite discoveries, to take you into Hidden Paris.

For all of you Claude Monet fans out there, the Musée d’Orsay, the Musée de l’Orangerie and nearby Giverny are special treats. Here’s a good “Where’s Waldo?” Reis om de Wereld.

S favorite spots in Dublin - SEE PHOTOS | Ireland Vacations. Over eight million tourists visit Dublin city every year, either passing through or staying for a while. All of them most likely have guide books and will hit the major tourist attractions, but we decided to put together a list of some of our (the locals) favorite spots in Dublin. To see a show, sit back and watch the world go by, get back to nature or find that unique souvenir, here is our list of Dubliner’s favorite spots: Red Rock, Sutton, Dublin Just 25 minutes outside the city center and you will find yourself in Sutton village on the north coast of Dublin.

The Red Rock walk is one of our favorite walks in Dublin, due to its easy access from the city and also because of the feeling of remoteness you get standing up on top of the cliffs looking out to sea. The whole walk takes about three hours and stretches from the magnificent Martello Tower, in Sutton, all the way to Howth Harbour on the other side of the peninsula. Olympia Theatre, Dame Street.

ShareThis. The Global Vibe | The Limerick Vibe. What is the Global Vibe Movement? Anywhere that the recession has hit hard, particularly in urban areas of the Western world, there are empty buildings in town and city centres. At the same time, these areas have many individuals who want to pass on their skills to help improve social wellbeing. The Limerick Vibe found a way of using these two potentials, space and people, and put them together for the benefit of the area. Since this community-based project was launched in November 2011, it has gone from strength to strength. We know it works and we know that it can work across the world. So, if you know of a good vacant space in your town or city and also know local people who will offer their skills, why not bring them together for the benefit of the community?

Whatever you want to call your local project, the Vibe model can be put to use internationally. We wish you great success with your project! The Global Vibe.

Last week, I was scouting office space in a building in Queens. My guide brought me to this totally unassuming elevator: Really, I have to show you this as I encountered it: WOW. It’s like Willy Wonka built an elevator to the land of Oz!

Here’s a full panorama looking toward the rear of the elevator (that’s a railing beneath the mirror)… …and a reverse pan showing the front: Lining the ceiling are these great monster heads made out of mechanical bits… Each is poking through its own hole: More characters, including a king: Another character: The elevator is a last remnant from when the former Macy’s warehouse building catered to a more artsy clientele.

Best of all, there’s a cool fish-eye mirror at one end, which makes it look like you’re leaning out of some parallel dimension: I’m a big fan of anything that makes my day a little more surreal, and this is the last thing I was expecting on the other side of those bland white elevator doors. 66 Beautiful Small Cities & Towns In Europe.
