Spitalfields Market

Today Jess and I decided to be adventurous and go to Spitalfields Market, which was supposed to have a great cupcake place, great food in general, and lots of art/clothing booths. After we got off the tube at Liverpool Street (the station is also huge btw), we honestly had 0 idea where we were going. So we assumed the market was close to the river and started walking towards the river.... nope that's wrong it's not-- it's actually in the opposite direction. So after getting Google Maps out to help us get to the general vicinity of Spitalfields, as was labeled on maps, we finally found ourselves looking down the street of open-air clothing markets. Walking down it a little bit, we found a road full of food trucks ranging from Chinese to Indian to Caribbean and we were SO excited to finally find Spitalfields! (Because like, we're evidently terrible navigators and have been wandering for at least 20 minutes by now) Also, since this was right after class, we were starving and wanted to eat. I got Indian food, Jess got a monstrous chicken wrap and the food was so good and so cheap.

So after eating we decided to look around at the market more and go find this cupcake place. After realizing that this market was literally one street long and only had sketchy clothing booths and knock off purse booths.... we started to suspect we were in the wrong place. And we were... We were actually about 10 minutes away from the REAL Spitalfields Market, which is indoors and actually really pretty.

Also, since we also apparently lack foresight, the market on a monday afternoon was basically empty-- as in no shoppers/viewers and no booths. Most of the market was largely empty and there was mostly only clothing booths with graphic T-shirts/dresses/scarves/coats...nothing that we were interested in.

But hey, it's no problem cuz we can get yummy cupcakes! Nope. After literally scouring the entire market and not being able to find the place, Jess went back to google and found out that the cupcake place was ONLY OPEN ON SATURDAYS. I wanted to killll her haha. So we settled on Lola's Cupcakes and headed home :)

After we got back, I went to my new favorite library, the Archaeology one, and knocked out another MCAT practice test :) Cheers to studying & fun!
