The Missus and I ate dinner in the Haymarket last night. I didn't realize how long it has been since we last ate down there. Way too long.
As is our custom, we followed up dinner with a trip to Ivanna Cone in the Creamery Building. Immediately upon opening the door to the building we heard live piano music. What's this? A new bookstore? I had no idea! I'm not sure when Indigo Bridge Books first opened, but their grand opening celebration was held back in November. I'm really behind the times here.
Indigo Bridge is exactly the sort of business the Haymarket needs and Haymarket visitors crave. It had it all: live music, coffee shop, free cinnamon rolls from Bread & Cup, all in a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. I wasn't more than two feet in the door when I actually said out loud to nobody in particular: "This place is awesome!" Judging by the warm smiles of virtually everyone else in the store my assessment wasn't unique.
I don't drink coffee and, I'm ashamed to say, I'm not much of an analog reader. Yet I fully intend to patronize Indigo Bridge. The owners have managed to create an entirely pleasant experience that fits perfectly with the store's location. I don't think it's a stretch to assume Indigo Bridge will be around much longer than the previous tenants in that location.
Indigo Bridge Books (402-477-7770) is located inside the Creamery Building at 701 P Street.
