On my third trip to the capital of Northern Ireland, I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to see and do. On my first and second visits to Belfast, I had done all of the “normal” tourist activities, visited the key sights and attractions and gotten to know this lovely and compact city pretty well. Or, at least as much as a two-time visitor can. So, today’s podcast reflects some other aspects of visiting Belfast, especially lesser known neighborhoods and the city’s emerging food scene.
