 "The Northern Whig" was a popular satirical newspaper in the 19th century (very much in the same vein as "Punch"), with its headquarters on the corner of Waring Street and Bridge Street, opposite the Assembly Rooms.Today, "The Northern Whig" building is a pub and restaurant, but the tradition of satirical writing still has a home in Cathedral Quarter through "The Vacuum", which has its offices in the area.Cathedral Quarter is very close to both the Belfast Central Library building and the headquarters of local newspaper publication the "Belfast Telegraph".
