Happy 4th from the top of the Chelsea Museum
Great place to watch fireworks…. You just have to talk your way in.
Boom.
Le Bain
Yup. Into the hot tub.
The gates
Since Im in NYC, this is an appropriate throwback… to 2005: Christo & Jeanne-Claudes Gates in Central Park.
Trattoria alle Vignole
This is my favorite place in Venice to go for dinner. You have to take a boat to get there so most of the folks eating are Venetians. It’s mostly fried fish and other fish dishes. I love it. Sorry you can’t go….
Venezia Caffe
This place is awesome. Ridiculous roasts from around the word and Italy. Yup.
Castello 6500, Venezia
Olivetti Showroom on St. Marc
This is definitely worth a visit and 5 euro (or free if you’re a student). On display are a bunch of old Olivetti typewriters and the space they are in is a fabulous lobby designed by Carlo Scarpa.
Our Favorite: Osteria del Ponte del Diavolo
We were here every evening at around 7 for aperitivi and cicchetti.
Cantine del Vino Gia Schiavi for Chicchetti
Some of the best and the cheapest chicchetti in Venice can be found at Cantine del Vino Gia Schiavi. And they’ve got good, cheap wine and beer.

Bar Ai Nomboli for Sandwiches in Venice
Looking for a cheap snack or an entire meal of sandwiches while in Venice? This is definitely the place to go: Bar ai Nomboli. So friggin’ good, so many choices and very reasonable, especially for Venice. They also make great fresh juices. Try one with carrot. The best sandwich I had was salami, mushrooms and truffle oil. Whoa.
