Slice of building
February 8th, 2010
This building always reminded me a slice of Wonder Bread (or its Mexican equivalent, pan Bimbo). On Calle Venustiano Carranza in the centro histórico, for ages it was home to a seafood restaurant called El Malecón, but has been shut for the past couple of years. Sadly, I never went; it is hard to imagine how the waiters would have moved between tables in a space so narrow. Not long ago, I knocked on the door to see what, if anything, was going on. A porter told me that the property had been sold but had no idea to whom or to what purpose.

There was, and still may be, a bakery sales store in Centro, not far from your slice of bread, that was basically a corridor. It was so narrow that the showcases were aligned parallel to the walls.
A striking contrast to the huge Pastelería Ideal.

es interesante la placa a un lado de la puerta anunciando que se trata de la fachada más estrecha de la ciudad.

I used to eat at el Malecón – it was a very old fashioned mariscos place that just had a counter

This is halirious. I just got back from D.F. and went to the centro with my uncle who is a walking encyclopedia of el centro. One of the places she showed me was this place!!!I still have a bunch of pictures in my digital camera of this building.
