Our first stop on Friday was the Fabrica La Aurora - an old textile factory that’s been converted to an art and design space.
They've preserved part of the old factory
Here’s a photo of the workers in the old factory
Very different look now
There are clothing and jewelry stores, antiques and folk art dealers, galleries, sculpture installations and a few eateries.
Max was contemplating whether the HOA would let her add this piece to her front lawn in Greenport
After wandering a while, we stopped for lunch at Food Factory, an odd mix of Mexican, Vietnamese, and Korean food. Linda had fish tacos and I had what they called a Vietnamese cazuela (casserole) which turned out to be clay pot chicken. Both tasty and attractive as befitted the venue
By then we were done with gallery crawling and decided to go in search of provisions for our rooms. We often find that restaurant fare while traveling gets to be too too much so we were looking for snacks and staples so we could just have a simpler meal now and then. At first we thought our cabbie didn’t understand the address we were giving him, but it turned out he couldn’t figure out why we wanted to go to a huge supermarket. Our Spanish wasn’t up to the explanation, but we got there and found what we needed at a mega supermarket bigger than any we have in NYC
The rest of the evening was a walk into the Centro in search of dinner. Turned out to be a completely forgettable meal that evening, but Max did take this photo of Linda that I really love
