Parada de Copa, Rua Barata Ribeiro

Bb did a little necessary desk work in the morning and I went out for coffee and a wander through Menescal, buying a couple of fun coloured necklaces.

A walk along the front in the afternoon and a late lunch/early dinner in Real Chopp and then a stop for some dinner Yahtzee in Parada de Copa, which, proudly told to us by the young waiter Emerson, is open every day from 11am till 3am and till 5am on Fridays and Saturdays! It’s just a block away from us and was a new kid on the block when we were here in Dec/Jan. It specialises in big sandwiches, in which pineapple is often an ingredient. I think it models itself on the famous Cervantes, which has even longer opening hours. We’ll go back to share a sandwich one night.

My blip is two shots taken from our table at Copa Parada, looking out from their open inside area. I like trying to capture the atmosphere in these everyday places.
