"Basegò Bacaro" in Venice is one my favorite bacaros/bars in the city, and I especially like their pay-it-forward tradition of cicchetto & prosecco pagato.

"Santa Maria dei Miracoli" in Venice is small church with fascinating architecture -- it's a treasure from a historical, and a sentimental, point of view.

"Magazzino delle Scope" is a chic restaurant I really recommend you choose for one of your dinners if you're staying for a short time in Jesolo...

"Teatrino Palazzo Grassi" in Museum Palazzo Grassi is a contemporary architectural gem w/ free shows! I also love the interior and the bar in the hall...

"Stadio Pierluigi Penzo" is Venice's football stadium. It's a very welcome break from the otherwise sterile life in the lagoon city. Come slightly drunk!

"The Brick Heart" in Castello, Venice, is a real mystery. There is a legend behind it, but you should know it grants eternal love to those who touch it...

"La Vite Rossa" in Venice - Mestre is a place to have good wine and try the best cicchetti in town -- my favorite are the authentic shellfish canapés...

"Campo san Giacomo" is a space with trees for locals to relax from the thousands of tourists in Venice. At night I come here to meet people and enjoy.

"Rialto Market" in Venice is a typical Venetian market which is as local as it gets. I recommend the artichokes from Sant Erasmo and the pesce go'...

"Caco Nero Bar" in Venice is a great choice for breakfast, lunch dinner, or brunch. I still feel welcome here, which is of course not very common anymore!

"Campo Santo Stefano" is the place where I live in Venice. It's one of the biggest in Venice, located very centrally and with lots of local life...

"Fondamenta delle Zattere" in Venice is a long and wide street that looks at the Giudecca canal. Walking here, far from the crowds, is pleasant & relaxing.
