What has Cork to recommend it?

What has Cork to recommend it? Here's my top three:

1. Con Murphy manshop at the top of Patrick's Street
2. Scoozi Restaurant on Winthrop Lane
3. Cork Gaol. We think we've got it tough? This is an eye-opener

I visited Con Murphy's recently to make a purchase. I had noticed decent discounts on the window and eventually decided on my new attire. However, when I inquired about the sale price, I was a taken aback to be told that the sale was over! Not to be one to lose a sale, the very obliging gentleman was quick to mend fences as he said "We'll look after you. I remember you bought a suit here about four years ago."
In my own mind, I thought that this really is what customer care is all about. In fact, he was being a somewhat generous as well...it was in fact six years ago that I had bought the said suit. He did indeed look after me, and very likely I shall return there in the future.

More soon.... must go now to watch Real Madrid attempt to eliminate Manchester United from this year's Champions League.

Now THAT is what customer service is all about! I am indeed impressed. BTW...these deserts look divine!

Well, we were eating quite late, and as there was so much cream, we think they doubled the portions to not have it left over. Needless to say, we lapped it up!
