The Milan Digest (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When most people dream about visiting Italy, Milan isn’t usually the first place they think of. It’s either Rome (the iconic set for the 2003 Lizzie McGuire Movie), Florence (for the art and wineries), Venice (to ride a gondola of course), Naples (the birthplace of pizza), or Pisa (to take a picture of you propping up that leaning tower). So, why should you go to Milan instead?While I’m no expert in the city (that’s my friend Bela Tusa Trattoria), my long weekend trip has surely opened my eyes t

Where To Eat in Milan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you texted me, “Where should I eat and drink in Milan?”, I’d send you this: an intentionally compiled article of places my husband and I visited for food and drinks over our 100-hour long weekend in Milan. This’ll be lengthier than the bulleted list in a phone notes app, but you’ll get a lot of information that I think is important when deciding the question “Where to eat?” (such as…was the food worth the money? Would I go back? What’s the origin story?)Save this for later, because you’re goi
Milano Gelaterias Worth Racing Against The Melt For (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I love a vacation where the daily go-to accessory is a gelato in one hand and a napkin in the other. The kind of occasion where the mood is always to order 3 scoops to try as many flavors as you can, and to order it all expertly (but precariously) stacked in a cone—if you dare—even though the weather is toasty and the gelato is already oozing onto your fingers before you even pay for your treat.Italy as a country is known for its high concentration of quality gelaterias (gelato was invented in F
Milano Shops For The Intentional Consumer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The first thing my friends would tell me when I shared about my plans to visit Milan was about how wonderful the shopping scene was.And upon visiting, I can in fact confirm that this is true. Not only is it a city that has made space for multiple streets to be decked out with retail storefronts and glitzy, multi-floored shopping malls with high end designers, but it’s also the city where some of the world’s best-known luxury brands—Armani, Versace, Ferré, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, and Missoni—were
