Meta fans of the universe, unite!
Here is this month's mini-meta, which can drop any time I can get around to it roughly halfway through the month, haha. I'm hoping this one is a Level 1; it looks pretty, pretty doable to me.

The answer to the meta is a city.
Deadline: March 21 at noon Eastern

Made it to the city! Thanks for the puzzle, Mikey.
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

Tough grid. Easy meta. Thanks.
My avatar proves that it is sometimes better to be lucky than good!

What more appropriate for St. Patrick's Day than a limerick!
When I see a grid made by Mikey
I always yell out a big "Crikey"
The fill may cause pain
As I struggle and strain
And have an impact on my psyche
Nice puzzle Mikey, managed to get done in time to make the Corned Beef and Cabbage
Oh, and since no other craft would be apropos of the task:
I was able to get my punt to shore.

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Answer: DUBLIN
Correct entries: 43, another record!!!
Little is needed to state here: The six entries with repeated two-word groupings are below:
DADA
UHUH
BEBE
LULU
IDID
NONO
(Minor annoyance on my part; I noticed the clue for IDID also used "Did," which I didn't catch...that's also a NONO!)
The first letters spell DUBLIN, the answer to the meta. And all words with repeated syllables are definitely doublin'! Dublin. I'm hilarious.
