Waterford Locals Opt for Takeaways after Festive Feast
Following the Christmas feasting, residents of Waterford city and county are turning to takeaways for a change of pace. With many feeling “turkeyed-out” after the holidays, fast-food outlets are experiencing a surge in business. Martin Tofeg, owner of Zambak in Kilmeaden, confirmed this trend. ”People want to try something different after Christmas Day,” he explained. Zambak, the sole chipper in Kilmeaden, closed only on Christmas Day this year, and Tofeg noted that business has been brisk ever since. “We are always busy,” he shared. Popular menu choices include pizzas, kebabs, and classic fish and chips. Tofeg believes that many locals appreciate the convenience of takeaway meals after spending days preparing festive dinners for their families. “We close just one day during the year, Christmas Day, and after that it starts getting busy again.” ## Taking a Break From the Turkey: Waterford Turns to takeaways

As a human news editor from Archyde, I see a potential news story brewing from this search result:
The Helsinki Smart region ([1](https://helsinkismart.fi/news/)) seems to be actively working on projects and initiatives. The site mentions “latest news” with a call to action to follow them on various social media platforms.
This suggests that Helsinki Smart Region could be a source of captivating technological, urban planning, or sustainability-focused news stories. I would research further to see what their latest projects and announcements are and determine if any of them would be relevant and engaging for Archyde’s audience.
