Hodge himself has raised the alarm as president of the South Congress Merchants Association he intentionally sets a happy tone for talking about the move for Monkey See He emphasizes that it was a voluntary move “We are incredibly excited for this move,” said Hodge in the release “With all due respect to our incredible culinary neighbors on South Congress after two decades we have decided to explore new lunch options While we will definitely miss having our fill of Gueros we felt it was high time to explore some of the menus South Lamar has to offer.” and paints a picture of what it was like to work in a tourist location "selling toy accordions and lava lamps to celebrities makes for an interesting workday we haven’t had a Thundercloud Subs right next door so we’re really looking forward to being their new South Lamar neighbors.” Vintage toys are a big draw for many visitors.Photo courtesy of Monkey See Hodge does discuss the experience watching South Congress evolve “During our kitschy little toy shop’s two decades on South Congress we have witnessed extraordinary changes to the surrounding retail landscape,” he said we were drawn by the cheap rent and amazing community of scrappy upstart businesses that didn’t quite fit in anywhere else this move could be great for local shoppers who don't want to brave South Congress and a playground across the street at Amy's Ice Creams offers another pit stop on a more relaxed outing If this all seems sudden to neighbors, it's because the store taken shape very quickly.

intensity Children walk from house to house calling to ask for candy in the American way Lavapiés is one of Madrid's most culturally vibrant neighborhoods According to data from the Madrid City Council around 30% of the inhabitants of Lavapiés are foreigners almost double the average for the city of Madrid So it is not surprising that Lavapiés street itself is almost exclusively dedicated to Indian restaurants that there is one of the strongest African communities in the capital and that the central square is the best place to practice other languages without leaving Madrid Among the lesser-known but must-see palaces in Madrid fernán Nuñez Palace is at the top of the list movies and video clips for its rococo rooms with Versaillesque airs but with a facade of the most simple and that does not give rise to imagine the richness of the interior to the passerby This 18th century jewel with Baccarat crystal chandeliers bronze and bronze coverings… is located in the heart of the Lavapiés district View this post on Instagram The perfect plan in Doctor Fourquet street is to go for a Hola coffee and drink it A space recovered by the neighbors of the Zone who hold their meetings here organize activities for the little ones and plant in one of the most beautiful urban gardens (and orchards) in the city breathe in this oasis in the heart of Madrid and pick up your trash and leave everything as it was Only in this way will the beautiful things remain Joan Miró and Maruja Mallo are some of the names that make up the list of artists of different styles whose legacy makes up the treasure that the Sabatini building holds within its four walls The name Hola Coffee has one intention: to welcome specialty coffee neophytes and open the doors to more experienced coffee drinkers coffee is still coffee; and the ritual of drinking coffee is democratic In addition to tasting these beans roasted by the Hola Coffee team (Nolo Botana and Pablo Caballero at the helm) you can also sample the Mission Bakehouse confectionery We added two new arrivals to welcome fall: a classic in the house and their bread has been awarded in 2021 as the best in Madrid Savas is one of them and there are few cocktail bars with such a competitive price (8,5€ the most expensive cocktail) For more Honor: according to the journalist Ángeles Caballero it is the best bar in Madrid Pizza Posta is the place where they prepare the real pizza is not: posta (in lunfardo -Argentine slang born from the immigrant influence at the end of the 19th century-) means true And the pizza at this industrial-looking restaurant in the Lavapiés neighborhood is all that There are some practical things to know before going to Yeca Estrit Fud: the first is that the place is small (literally 4 tables and they do two shifts for lunch and dinner) so it is advisable to book; the second that the menu is also small (only eight dishes and a dessert); and the third that you will spend about 20€ per head to eat what in another restaurant they would sell you for a much higher price Visiting Planeta Vegano is one of the things to do in the Lavapiés neighborhood before or after organic products and food supplements are some of the things you can find in this supermarket that has been fulfilling the vegan dreams of the neighborhood since 2009 a restaurant where creativity occupies every dish without forgetting the fundamentals: the nods to Madrid’s cuisine between the cornerstone of the “castizo” and the more experimental “pincitas cuisine” you will be able to try their spoon dish off the menu; and if you drop by on Fridays you will taste their cocido madrileño in three courses such as the crispy ear on parmentier and salsa brava the spicy corn gazpacho with roasted tomato pico de gallo and octopus or the roasted leeks with red mojo Don’t leave without the finishing touch: Andrea Currello’s signature cocktails Juan Raro is so called because his dishes mix the most traditional flavors and elaborations (Juan) with the surprising and updated touch of the most unusual techniques and ingredients (Raro) and we also recommend repeating because their menu is constantly evolving Dishes such as poached egg with sautéed truffled mushrooms za’atar and cashew nuts or pastrami brioche with anchovy mayonnaise Asian Army… The market’s offer invites you to take a route through its different gastronomic stalls from which it is impossible not to leave satisfied one of the liveliest in the Lavapiés neighborhood where every weekend an incessant tingling of people meet to share a toast and look for the best dishes from the market stalls You can’t miss a glass of natural wine from Bendito Vinos y Vinilos or the vegetable pâtés from La alpargata vegana tavern or the sushi from Yan Ken Pon (which is also a bookstore) Perhaps one of the best things you can say about a restaurant And that is something that can be highlighted about Viva Chapata we can not fail to recommend its “Viva” tortilla ciabatta Just four tables and a bar in a corner filled to the brim with details of grandmother’s cooking… Spanish and English The menu at Los Chuchis is like the place: small a bit of everything: the English touch of chef Scott Preston lots of spoon dishes and hearty delicacies to share It varies with the market and Scott’s appetite With more than 40 years of history in the same corner of Lavapiés Melo’s is the living example of a lifetime bar It was at the end of 2020 when the doors of this gastronomic temple in Madrid remained closed for four months waiting for a messiah willing to save it 51 🚧 The center is closed for construction at the date of publication of this article It was born in 1912 as “Salon Doré” as a space that hosted various leisure activities Its history is a story of boom and bust: although it was successful in its beginnings and its projections featured live music performed by artists such as María Caballé over time it suffered a process of decline The Doré Cinema was reinvented as a re-release theater in the 1930s and in its last stage before closing in 1963 it became a neighborhood cinema restored and in 1989 became the headquarters of the Spanish Film Archive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv3iD33ky0c Today it has become one of the most important cultural centers of the city due to its antiquity and because it is considered as the second headquarters of the National Dramatic Center considered as the second headquarters of the Centro Dramático Nacional (National Dramatic Center) the Teatro Valle-Inclán was inaugurated in 1926 as the Sala Olimpia and was originally designed only for showing films The bookstore of choice in the Lavapiés neighborhood is Grant one of those where time flies while you browse through books and let yourself be advised by charming people comic or picture book that will go home with you and the activity is incessant: upon entering it is highly likely to come across the presentation of a new book but also the corner for the crazy collectors in the neighborhood of Lavapiés “The city is a museum where thousands of artists live and create We want to be your giftshop”. This store has a clear mission to connect local artists with the neighborhood  through illustrations jewelry and other handcrafted pieces made in Madrid perfect for decorating the home with an original style and supporting the talent of the neighborhood an alternative air and a cultural proposal difficult to compare the neighborhood of Lavapiés is one of the most genuine of the city
