"Vintage brands and local wares"

“Not long ago, most Lisboans steered clear of this former red-light-district north of Martim Moniz square. But redevelopment has brought in artists and artisans and Joana Vasconcelos’s Kit Garden, a sculpture that now sits in the heart of the neighborhood. Behind the dazzling façade of a former tile warehouse, an outpost of A Vida Portuguesa carries vintage brands and local wares: hand-wrapped tins of Tricana tuna, Ach Brito soaps, hats from the Azores. On sunny days, locals pack the esplanade tables outside O das Joana for Mediterranean dishes like béchamel-smothered cod, then head to the 19th-century town house Casa Independente, which hosts screening and concerts on its patio.”
