"Il Gusto e l'Uva" in Florence is my favorite unuassuming pizza & wine bar. They don't really have a menu; here I learned more about wine than anywhere...

"B-52 Vintage" in Florence has almost entirely American men's wear spanning from the '40s to the '80s. For me, as an artist, it's a wonderful spectacle!

Tiny "Lo Sprone" in Florence doesn't have outdoor seating apart from the converted bicycle-taxi. The food's Tuscan primi, or starters. Perfect w/ friends!

"Mercato di Piazza Tasso" is a weekly 'genuine clandestine' meeting of farmers & artisans in Florence. Pass through for groceries, stay for aperitivo...

"Djària" Florence is an old-fashioned American bar run by an American and an Italian that offers not just American but all kinds of gourmet bar food.

"Pizzeria Bio l'Pennatini" in Florence is my mom n' pop pizza shop. The ingredients are 100% organic and their dough varieties are all to die for!
