Earlier this year there was a minor stampede of bloggers, critics and the ever-floating set of influencers and Insta foodies across the Liffey as they followed Sean Crescenzi and Jamie McCarthy, the new Pied Pipers of the hip restaurant scene, to their latest opening at that point, Hera, at Binn’s Bridge leading from Dorset Street into the D9 burbs of Drumcondra.
Well, no doubt there’ll be the same stampede, but this time it’s D7 Phibsboro that has drawn the duo right into the very heart of its community with their newly opened Borgo at Doyle’s Corner.
