This is the place where Frankie Ramsay's used to be isn't it? With a name like that I hope they actually do grill their food over charcoal. Tried a few lovely Turkish barbeque places in England in recent years so I'm hoping this place hits the spot

Day/Week Transit Pass for Derry?

6 Upvotes

Hello all! I'll be flying to Derry for Halloween and will be using utilizing the transit system here heavily. I am wondering if Translink has anything like a "1 day/week" ticket for usage of the transit system. I found something called the "Ulsterbus Town Service Travel Card" but I'm looking for just Ulsterbus. Thank you greatly!

An Irish cultural question.

1 Upvotes

I leave for Northern Ireland next week Tuesday. Several on this thread site have kindly provided me with so advice and suggestions for this trip. (Includes three nights in Derry, and three nights in Londonderry).

I ask you all to once again indulge my thirst for information on culture.

I have seen in various places that when an American (et al) visits Ireland, it is bad form to have any conversation starter with a local that may include, "Well. I am 15% Irish (NI) on my father's side, 25% on mom's". Kindly educate me on how this mini-presentation may be considered generally inappropriate. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

(by the way. I have no known ancestry other than four generations ago, Danish in my blood. I shall not be trumpeting any ignorance on this cultural point.)

Cheers.

Halloween travel

3 Upvotes

Have people visiting for Halloween this year. Looking to get into town from outskirts in afternoon to enjoy the atmosphere then returning back home after start of parade, before fireworks start. Haven’t been in town for a few years, what will the situation be like for taxis, absolutely no hope? I’m near Altnagelvin so thinking crossing peace bridge then calling taxi will be best bet. Will buses be running as normal? Would be good to hear from those who have experienced it first hand last year.

Electric costs

3 Upvotes

What are people paying per month? I have a direct debit to power NI of £259 per month for a family of 4 with an electric car (rarely charged, once a week max)

This is all based on estimated readings as no one is ever in when they come out, but it seems really high.

Airport Parking

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, flying out of City of Derry airport on Saturday for the first time in a number of years. Is it still possible to leave the car outside the airport for a few days on the adjacent road (right hand side as you look at airport from roundabout). I never had issues previously but wondering if it's still possible or best just paying the parking price inside the airport boundaries (Ā£44 for 2 days...). Thanks,

Halloween Pub Recs

3 Upvotes

Hello! My friends and I are very excited to go to Derry on Halloween this year. We're all in our mid-20s and looking for the best pubs to go to after the fireworks. We love to dance and are on the hunt for a good vibe. We're going to be in a group of around 10 people, and we don't have any tickets yet. Do we need tickets to get into pubs? I would appreciate any and all advice you have on which pubs + clubs we should check out!

What's going on on the town centre?

Lots of cops in high viz and the drones are up. Looks like a grid search inside the walls. Cops at the end of each street while the drone moves about.
