In the decade or so since the historic
(1923) U.S, Navy Training Center barracks in San Diego was retrofitted into
Liberty Station, a massive commercial and residential node just north of San Diego
International Airport, the complex has been a mecca for cafes, especially those
serving espresso. Kudos to the
McMillian Companies credit they developed Liberty Station by keeping the
original Spanish Revival architecture.
The latest
complex within a complex is the Liberty
Public Market, which is currently enjoying its grand opening month. The new venue showcases
a rustic
environment with prepared foods, beer, wine, specialty cocktails, fresh produce,
fish counter, meat market, olive oil tasting and retail shop; desserts and
pastries, pastas, arts and crafts, a test kitchen, pop up dinners, and
educational driven events. And, of
course, coffee and pastries places. It
is reminiscent of a small version of the popular central marketplaces in
Europe, especially in Valencia, Madrid and Barcelona, Spain.
