Heading up there at the weekend. Should have a few hours to kill around the town on Saturday afternoon, including getting something to eat for lunch.

Any pointers ..
- where to park ?
- streets to head for / avoid ?
- somewhere for lunch ?
- local shops worth seeing, e.g. bookshop ?

Rest of the weekend will be spent outside the town, sightseeing, walking and visiting relations.
 
We spent a weekend in Sligo a few years ago. I found the town itself very underwhelming to be honest. We had pizza in a nice pizza place.

Park in the Cathedral Car Park. It’s cheaper for long stays. Otherwise park in the Abbey Car Park. Check out Shoot the Crows (Grattan St) and Hargadons (O'Connell St.) for a few scoops. You can also eat on Hargardon’s (very good) . For an interesting shop try the Cat and the Moon (Castle St).
 
If you were willing to drive out of Sligo and go to Grange, about 12 miles away I would recommend Langs for something to eat. It is a super little place. Enjoy
 
Thanks
I guess we'll be spending time around Castle and Grattan Streets. There's a craft shop nearby for wife and daughter. Son & I will have a look around the outdoors and book shops. We'll park where we can.
