Is there a mistake in this sentence? (The task is to identify mistakes if any.)
They had found refreshments over the way at Brown’s and Smith’s.
I think yes, there is a mistake since it seemed to be only one cafe, so we should write at Brown and Smith’s. But what if there were two different cafes? Is there a context in which at Brown’s and Smith’s would make sense? Or should we write at Brown’s and at Smith’s in case there were two cafes?
