Szimpla Sunday

Szimpla is a ruin pub in my hood. Ruin pubs are fashioned out of old abandoned buildings and are a circus of odds and ends. It's always fun exploring all the different nooks and crannies and seeing what clever decor has transformed the rundown spaces into artistic pieces. In the past, I had only explored Szimpla at night, when it is quite a...show ha. Bachelor parties donned in milkmaid costumes, British blokes causing a ruckus and all sorts of interesting characters.

Did you know rubik's cubes were invented by a Hungarian?
But, on Sunday mornings the madness transforms into a lovely farmer's market. Farmer's markets are one of my favorite places to troll. Just walking around and seeing the variety of produce, breads, jams, honeys, etc. is so relaxing. I love experimenting with new, fresh flavors. Szimpla hosts a completely locally sourced farmer's market. So crazy wonderful seeing the transformation in the daylight---variety of fresh cheeses/dairy (vegan distress...I had to resist every urge to try the truffle butter...), breads, jams and nut butters, sauces and much more. A perfect start to the day wandering through the odds and ends and discovering delish treats with light jazzy live music in the background :)




Why hello Mr. Gnome!

PEANUT BUTTER! Soooo good and fresh---I got two jars--one salty and one with chocolate

I've never seen so many varieties of honey


Love the fedora and the well-positioned coffee cup ;)

Such happy jazzy music to start the day
