Metro Lisbon? TPOL Leaves the Neighborhood for Cafe

When I lived in Chamberi in Madrid, I took the metro one time to visit my friend at the Hard Rock Madrid. Before arriving in Lisbon, a fellow BoardingArea blogger, Shelli Stein, from Point Me to the Plane reached out and invited me to join her for coffee.

I took the metro from Baixa Chiado.a group of people walking down a tunnel a subway with a staircase a tunnel with people walking in it a close up of a machine people walking down a tunnel people sitting on a bench in a subway station

And changed trains, while stopping to admire the art.

Thirty minutes later, I found myself in this charming establishment:

Pastel de Nata

At the time, I had never tried pastel de nata, nor did I know that there are so many articles on where the best pastel de nata is made in Lisbon (see Best Pastel de Nata: Versailles o Manteigaria)

Apart from the sweet treat, the afternoon was spent drinking white wine, espresso, and having great conversation.
