HI NEIGHBORS!
Here’s what’s buzzing in Antwerp this weekend.
📢 THE WALL
Got something to share with the hive? This is your mic.
Feature your business, a job opening, an event, life update, or just say hi.
La Senda is the first Salvadoran restaurant in Antwerp. The name honors the kiosk their mother once ran back in El Salvador during the 1980s and 90s. After nearly 30 years of building a life here, the family decided it was time to share their heritage with the city.
Order the pupusas and drink the horchata. Thank us later 😉
