Hannah, if you'll read my post more carefully, and if you're at all familiar with Ulysses, you'll realize my use of "authenticity" referred to the gorgonzola sandwich, which is what Leopold Bloom eats for lunch. I was not referring to anything about Murphy's. Incidentally, that was my first post on eGullet and I hope other forum participants are a bit more careful and a bit less caustic when responding to well-intentioned recommendations.

Irish Times, as I recall, used to do a Ulysses reading each year, but I called yesterday and was informed that there would be none tomorrow. Anyone heard of any other Bloomsday events? If not, anyone care to develop one based on wherever we think we can grab the best Irish meal? (I understand the authenticity-based gorgonzola sandwich thing, but where do they serve them?) My vote is for Murphy's in Old Town. They have good bar food and daily specials of the cornbeef and cabbage variety.
