Best Place To Sup & Shop

South Congress Avenue

The blossoming of South Congress Avenue continues unabated. It is now the premier strip to peruse and partake. Longtime retail residents such as Off the Wall, Uncommon Objects, The Armadillo Market, Rue's, and others have been joined by relative newcomers Pieces of the Past and New Bohemia. And the variety of places to fortify oneself while shopping for the truly wonderful is staggering. While the choices offered by Magnolia Cafe, Fran's, TFB, Shaggy's, and Güero's have made choosing difficult before, the additions of the wonderful Liberty Pie and the hip Vespaio make this street a diner's paradise. We know of no better place to satisfy two of our most urgent pleasures.
