There's only room for 15 guests at this tiny Brunswick East bar

There's nothing tricky about the name of Tiny. It squeezes 15 people along two walls, has a kitchen pass that doubles as a high-table, and serves a tight menu from a studio apartment-sized cooking set-up. It helps that couple Zac Shearer (The Lincoln, French Saloon) and Jamila Fontana live three minutes' walk away, allowing mid-service dashes home to get more ice or beer.
Tomato tarte tatin on house-made puff is finished with a red-wine burnt caramel, smoked quail egg with potato foam and beluga caviar makes an elegant snack, and abalone is tossed through a bold seaweed butter. Josh Fry, the opening chef for Rocco's Bologna Discoteca and Poodle, helped write the menu.
Seven cocktails, 10 wines and three no-frills beers (including VB longnecks) get the job done, drinks-wise.

"Throughout this crisis, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and our Embassy in Tel Aviv have remained in regular contact with Irish citizens in the region," Harris added: "I would like to thank the government of Austria for the close cooperation which resulted in today's successful evacuation."I would also like to thank our consular response teams in Tel Aviv, Dublin and across the Middle East who continue to support Irish citizens in the region".Earlier, the tánaiste said that a "small number" of citizens also want to leave Iran, and work is under way to get them out Dublin government, Harris said, is urging Irish citizens in both Israel and Iran to "remain vigilant, to monitor developments and media, and to follow advice from the authorities, including when this is to shelter in place"."All citizens in the region should register with the nearest Irish Embassy, if they have not already done so," he said.

Avoiding the COVID Shot Talk? Here's What to Do
Do you hesitate to bring up COVID vaccines with your patients? You're not alone — and experts said these conversations are becoming less common in routine care. The reasons are complex, ranging from short visit times and shifting clinical priorities to the health attitudes of both physicians and patients — and something Arthur Caplan, PhD, head of the Ethics Division at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York City, called 'COVID exhaustion.' Arthur Caplan, PhD 'There is a feeling that everybody who's going to get COVID either got it or got vaccinated or doesn't want [the shot],' said Caplan. But your silence can leave patients feeling unsure about what to do. New CDC guidance for COVID boosters — and even baseline vaccination — for healthy people (including children) has shifted toward shared clinical decision-making. What does that mean? According to the now-fired CDC vaccine advisory panel, shared clinical decision-making means 'informed by the best available evidence of who may benefit from vaccination; the individual's characteristics, values, and preferences; the healthcare provider's clinical discretion; and the characteristics of the vaccine being considered.' The panel added, 'There is not a prescribed set of considerations or decision points in the decision-making process.' In other words, you're on your own. All the major US physician organizations still recommend the shots for everyone 6 months and older. Amid widespread misinformation about the vaccines' risks and lack of benefit, there's another reason providers should bring them up — protecting those most at risk for severe COVID, Caplan said. 'We're so individualistic, so focused on personal choice, so focused on the individual, that we're undercutting a moral basis or the ethical basis for vaccination, which is the community,' he said. Surveys consistently showed that more people say they plan to get COVID vaccines than actually do, and the barriers throttling that conversion rate are unclear. If you find yourself hesitating to bring up the COVID vaccine, ask yourself why — so you can thoughtfully address that hesitation in practice. Why You Don't Bring Up COVID Shots With Healthy Patients Timothy Callaghan, PhD First, the elephant in the room: Many people are hesitant to talk about COVID vaccines because of how politically charged the topic has become, and clinicians are no exception. 'Physicians may be hesitant to bring up any topics that might induce partisan beliefs and lead people to be less trusting of seeking out medical care,' said Timothy Callaghan, PhD, associate professor at the Boston University School of Public Health, Boston, and an expert in vaccine hesitancy and health behavior. 'They might forego discussing those to make sure they're doing everything they can to keep patients engaged with the healthcare system so that they can keep them safe and healthy.' Jen Brull, MD Another key challenge is the topic's complexity. 'Sometimes those conversations need to be lengthy to let people feel comfortable that their questions were answered, their fears were addressed, the confusion was resolved,' said Jen Brull, MD, president of the American Academy of Family Physicians. 'In a 10- or 15-minute office visit, you might say, 'Do I want to open this Pandora's box today? Do I have time to do this? How late am I?'' In the pediatric setting, parents' perception is often that COVID is generally well-tolerated by healthy children, and they view COVID vaccines differently than they do vaccines that are required for school, said Jesse Hackell, MD, chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Pediatric Workforce. 'If I've got a kid who needs the measles vaccine and the COVID vaccine, I don't want to poison the atmosphere for the measles vaccine by pushing the COVID vaccine,' Hackell said. Your move? Don't wait for the Pandora's box moment. Start preparing now. Your Vaccine Recommendation Plan You may not be thinking about your fall vaccine campaign yet, but now is the time to plan — before an unexpected surge leaves you unprepared. Jesse Hackell, MD One exception to fall timing is baseline vaccination of 6-month-olds, Hackell said. Data show the risk for severe illness during the first year is high, so these babies should get vaccinated 'as soon as possible.' Otherwise, here are some ways to incorporate COVID vaccine recommendations both in and outside the clinic:
