![]() Landmarks around Dublin are marked by brass plaques, and one Bloomsday tradition involves tracing Leopold’s steps as nearly as possible. Today, Bloomsday is celebrated around the world, often with a breakfast of fried kidneys kicking off the festivities, although there’s still something for the vegetarians: a Gorgonzola sandwich and “a nice salad” à la Bloom. Like countless drinking tours before and since, this one didn’t complete its appointed course, its celebrants succumbing to the alcohol’s effects about halfway through. The first “Bloomsday” was observed in 1954, on the 50th anniversary of the novel, when artist and publisher John Ryan led a group of writers - as well as Thomas Joyce, a dentist and James Joyce’s cousin - on a sort of drinking tour of Dublin in a couple of horse-drawn cabs.

They took a walk together in Ringsend, and may or may not have indulged in some hanky-panky, but either way it was the start of a romance that would last the rest of Joyce’s life - as Joyce’s father remarked when learning of Nora’s last name, “She’ll stick with him.” Nora, who was from Galway, worked as a chambermaid at Finn’s Hotel in Dublin she met Joyce on the 10th of June, but with one thing and another, their first date didn’t happen until almost a week later.
