We
have one of the
town's best patisseries right next to the
office. The only problem is that it's not open
when I arrive for work, it shuts for lunch,
and by the time I leave my desk, it has invariably
already closed for the day. |

A
year ago I would've called such hours commercial
suicide for a pastry shop, but I suppose unemployment
has now grown sufficiently high for brisk business
during normal office hours. So it's nice to
see a growing number of all-day hangouts that
can accommodate desk-bound wage slaves like
me.
Last year, for example, take-out and café
Green&Wich opened on Casanova, swiftly followed
by the slick cocktail bar and Asian-Mediterranean
fusion restaurant Primario on Plaça Doctor
Letamendi. And just a fortnight ago, the Lexington
café-cocktail bar opened on Muntaner,
serving up NY-style comfort foods like quesadillas,
burgers and Caesar salads.
These places open early for breakfast, stay
open through lunch (or brunch on weekends) and
on to dinner and, for some, cocktails. And given
the choice between a meringue and a cocktail,
I'm pointing at the glass. Any time of the day.
