Until the opening of Clarehall Shopping Centre a couple of years ago, Donaghmede was the sole…read moremedium-sized shopping centre in the north-east Dublin area. And depite the competion from the afore-mentioned Clarehall, Donghmede is still doing alright. Unfortunately, the clearest indication of this is the near impossibility of acquiring a parking space. Donaghmede's car park is very badly designed, all unusual acute angles that doesn't allow for many parking spaces. Preumably, there were a good deal more before the McDonalds opened on the site. Inside, there is a big Dunnes Stores, and lots of small, often unusual, independent shops. There's also a creepy statue of some kids dancing while holding hands, and expect to see a quota of tracksuited youths hanging around the place. For all of its peculiarities and impracticalities, I still retain a great deal of affection for place. Donaghmede Shopping Centre was built before the era of soulless megaliths of shopping centres, like Pavillions and Blanchardstown, all clean-lined designs with no personality. So for all its quirks, I'd still take it anyday over it's more ergonmonically designed but sterile successors.

The best thing about the this shopping center is not the center itself but the woodies across the…read moreroad. However as this review is about the center i better base my review on it. Dated and drab looking this center seriously needs an overhaul. There is a big Dunnes stores which keep the locals happy, a bit furniture store on the first floor which has been so expensive everytime i go and lots of smaller cheaper looking shops and boutiques. There was a restaurant upstairs with miserable looking staff and even more miserable looking food but i think they have a subway there now and a mcdonalds on site too. if you like that sort of nasty fatty food. But the good thing is that this shopping center aims to have everything, from shoes, to groceries, to diy, to books, to health clinics and so much more. Is the swimming pool still there? I'm not sure but i'd certainly avoid the dodgy looking pub outside. when i've parked in the carpark, i've watched some colourful and unsavoury looking characters hanging the doorway; at 11am.

Located on the first floor of the Donaghmede Shopping Centre, Pride and Joy in one those toy shops that specialise in cheap unfashionable toys that would probably be sneered at by the children of today, but would be considered to have great kitsch value by nostalgic twenteens. You know the type of shitty toys that you got as kid: plastic bow and arrows, toy guns that light up and make a noise, non-brand name dolls that would be looked down upon by the recipient for not being a Baby-Born. Very un-PC, guns for little boys and dollies for little girls, isn't it? That's what makes this shop so charming: the absolute sense of being stuck in a time warp the moment you enter the store. The most modern item I saw in the window was a micro-scooter (at least 10 years since those were en vouge), which next to a display of Power Rangers (surely they haven't been made in years). Absolutely worth a visit.

I've worked in here for a year and can tell that place is maintained as a top class mall. Security always on top of scumbags, shop lifters, junkies and local kids that come here only to mess around. Parking lot is more than enough even on a Christmas eve. They do car valets there as well. I lover the option to come and go via any side you choose. There're four entrances. Then four ways to get up to the first floor, where actual Tesco is located: two escalators for each side up and down and two lifts on each side. Staircases are just beside lifts, if you prefer that. In this Tesco you'll find most stuff. Basically everything. I might not find one or two specific thing that I need in other big Tesco, like the one in Finglas (Clearwater), but here you'll find almost anything. This place is not great only because of Tesco size, but also because of other shops that surround it. You may have a decent lunch here, also enjoy some KFC fast food. Get some pictures sprinted, beauty salon etc.

Just a little off the beaten path along Seafort Avenue, this is the secret shop D4 dandies go to for the best of Fashion Weeks past, as previously worn by Social and Personal types. Step into the back for a look at filmier gowns and frocks, but steel thyself for the prices -there's no bargain basement prices (but you will get that Chanel blouse at half it's original sale price). My first introduction to Second Avenue was on a cold spring day a few years back; as we rounded a corner on a closed up shop I wondered if we'd gone too far. A moment later the shop front appeared, blocked in by rows of Land Rovers parked right in front of the shop window. Inside there was quiet as women fanned through beautiful silks and suits hung along the wall racks. At the centre table I fell in love with a black croc clutch that I would end up going back twice to mull over bringing home. The price tag ended the would-be romance.
