St Stephen’s Green

Stephen’s Green is a rectangular exhale in the shopping crush—willows over duck-filled water, miniature bridges, and memorial statuary tucked into shrubberies. Office workers bracket lunch on benches; students sprawl between lectures. Loop the inner carriage path slowly; read plaques to 1916 in its northwest corner; watch gulls argue over crumbs. Rain arrives fast—porch yourself under the bandstand when showers sprint across the lawn.
