The Dubliner 100 Best Restaurants White also published The Dubliner 100 Best Restaurants Guide, and it became the best-selling restaurant guide in Ireland. In 2008 restaurant critic Ernie Whalley wrote, "It would be more correct to call the much-hyped annual 'Dublin's 30 Good and 70 Very Average Restaurants'. City of a Thousand Welcomes In 2011, the Little Museum launched a civic initiative called City of a Thousand Welcomes. It is a greeting service that sees volunteer Dubliners welcome visitors to the city by bringing them out for an informal chat over a free cup of tea or a pint. It was hoped that the initiative would attract 1000 volunteers to sign up as Dublin Ambassadors within three months. The Irish Times reported that the target was reached within 24 hours. In July 2011, The Boston Globe reported that "one of the goals of the project… is to stamp out… cynicism and encourage Dubliners to embrace their history of connecting with others by welcoming them."
