Mercato Centrale: The Place to Eat after a Race
Who’s not joining the much awaited Leg 3 of Run Rio: Run United this coming weekend? For those of you are signed up for the Sunday event, I’m giving you an additional reason why you should run: Mercato Centrale.
Mercato Centrale is a new weekend food bazaar at Bonifacio Global City. “Inspired by the outdoor markets of Mercato Centrale in Florence and the Boroughs Market in London, Mercato Centrale at Bonifacio Global City is an innovative weekend lifestyle market with unique, great tasting food finds that you won’t find anywhere around the metro! Mercato also has an extensive selection of healthy and organic fruits, vegetables and livestock, all located in a clean, comfortable, well-ventilated and organized setting.” They will also stage fun activities, cooking demonstrations, live entertainment, and even Sunday mass for families.
Behind Mercato Centrale is popular blogger and TBR Dream Marathon alumni, Anton Diaz of Our Awesome Planet, RJ Ledesma (of Royal Tru Orange fame), and my soon-to-be-runner (although she doesn’t know it yet) sister and bro-in-law, Janice and Gary Villanueva of Creative Juice.
Ribbon cutting and grand launch of Mercato Centrale will be this Sunday, November 21, 2010. Everyone is invited. Yes, it’s perfect after Run United, don’t you think? Your family can also choose to shop (and eat) while you’re running your race.
Hope to see you there and every weekend thereafter!
