Trust me to venture out on the
coldest day of ‘spring’. But the trip had been delayed long enough. So I put on my
jacket and big girl panties on and got on with business. But in the colds defence, it was still JulyJ

| Food Market |
After making 3 u-turns thanks to
the recalculating GPS, I finally arrived. Nestled under a bridge on Cnr Berea
and Main Street, there it was, the most sung about place since the birth of the
blog. I held my breath in anticipation of what I’ll find. Will it live up to
the song?
Walking in, I’m greeted by what
resembles a food market, with all kinds of decadent food and trendy people for
good measure. I went around to each and every one of them and I left having the
taste of the world in my mouth. Olives, Olive pastes, chilli, pastries, chocolate, breads
etc. And I’ m not talking about the ordinary. This was food I’ve never had the
pleasure of exploring. I was in a fondies heaven!
Thereafter I viewed retail, art, book stores and galleries spaces. It was there,
that I feel in love! I came across the most simple yet moving picture. Taken by
the artist Marcus Neustetter, called The Study of the Vertical Gaze. The picture was taken at The Maropeng caves,
at an-obvious-vertical gaze. I was completely taken aback. I must have stood
for while just reading that picture. I had to peeled off from that picture! For obvious reasons, I cant put it up.
On the other side, above the
restaurant is an open bar with benches, stairs and enough stoep to make
everyone act like lizards! Then sun was out,
trying to beat away the blues of the stinging weather. Be mindful that it gets filled up pretty
quickly, so best pick a spot and stick to it for the duration of the afternoon.
By the caribean inspired bar, there
was music, trendy people, lots of samba, Steph Weiss and Gin and Tonic to wrap
up the afternoon in a nice little bow.
Arts on Main proved to be
everything and more. The song should have been sung with a beat! The people,
the atmosphere, the food and the art!
Yes, believe the hype! Soon enough, all you’ll want to do on a Sunday Morning is Arts on Main.
