Meet Ciara & Ricky | Q&A
Question: In the video, you start off with a visit to St. George's Market...
Answer: It's a great place. All the vegetables are sourced locally and it's got an amazing coffee stall with coffee from all over the world. On Saturdays they have food stands with Mexican, Lebanese and a lot of really exotic foods.
Question: Tell us more about Bookfinders Café?
Answer: I love this place... It's kind of an informal, university bookshop. A place where you can hangout all day drinking coffee, discovering new books. They hold poetry nights, and similar events, which are advertised on posters around that part of the city. Other than that, you would never find out about them.
Question: And Spring and Airbrake...
Answer: Well it's a pub (laughs). Belfast has a really big underground music scene and pubs like Spring and Airbreak, the Limelight, Blackbox, Aunty-Annie's are part of it... There are so many great pubs part of the music scene.
Question: Ricky, tell us about Queens University, I believe you study there?
Answer: Yes, I'm a PHD student, Latin American literature... Queens is a beautiful redbrick university; very old. It's a bit like Trinity College inside, only smaller. Then there's the botanic gardens and the Naughton gallery next door - both definitely worth a look... Remember, the likes of Seamus Heaney studied at Queens.
