Miss List...Lisbon

Things I’m going to miss about Lisbon

  • Brunch. The bruch game in Lisbon is strong. There are so many delicious options: The Mill, Flora and Fauna, Dear Breakfast, Heim Cafe. All of them are affordable and have some of the best fresh squeezed orange juice around. Breakfast is my favorite meal to eat out, so lucky for me this was my last city of starting work at 3 p.m., which meant brunch any day I wanted.

  • Living with Jill. A great roommate. An even better person.

  • Iced coffee from The Mill. Taken “para llevar” and served up with an orange rind, it was the silver lining to the summer heat.

  • Pistola y Corazon. I’m still thinking about their tacos two months later. Their motto is Comida Sin Vergüenza, which directly translates to eat without shame. And they mean it. My first time there I asked for a fork and knife and they laughed at me. Eating without shame involves eating with your hands.

  • Zero commute. Basically living next door to the workspace was awesome.

  • And that workspace though...WIP Lisboa. The RY built workspace is a beautiful space and has the most call booths of any space yet (you can never have enough). Bonus points for being the only place in Lisbon with AC.

  • The beautiful tiled buildings everywhere you look.

  • Parque Natural da Arrrábida. A natural paradise. One of the most stunning and relaxing places I have ever been.

  • Nuno. The best tour guide. His positive, easygoing nature makes him a natural but what sets him apart is he feels like one of the gang and not your docent. Bonus that he was also fantastic about taking pictures for the group. He staged a photoshoot for us on the water in our kayaks.

  • Cruising the West Coast with my Ohana in an UMM Jeep. One of the best days this year.

Things I won’t miss about Lisbon

  • The lack of air conditioning.

  • The streets: their cobblestones and varying degrees of incline and decline.

  • The trash in the streets.
