Dublin town on a map-like towel

It shows everything from the 40 Foot to the Botanic Gardens, but the delightful new Dublin map available at Cake Café is more useful in the kitchen than on the road – not least because it’s a tea towel.

“We do picnic baskets for customers and I had drawn up a little map of parks and places to go with your basketful of goodies,” says cafe owner Michelle Darmody. “The map worked really well and I though it would be nice to develop the idea further.  I decided on a tea towel as it’s practical and accessible, price wise, for most people.”

Designed by Pony, the organic cotton towel celebrates the best of Dublin.

“I’m a blow-in to Dublin but I really enjoy living in the city,” says Darmody. “It’s great to be able to help show off some of the interesting and quirky places.”
