All I can say about white night is:
Crowds,
Crowds,
Throngs,
Chaos,
and even more Crowds:
I think in theory La Notte Bianca aka White Night is awesome with tons of cool things to see and do. But in reality there is just too many people and too much chaos. I had a LONG list of things to see including going [...]

Still up to no good nothing these days, but I am getting plenty of sightseeing done in my own city. If you remember my plea for where to go on vacation, I have roughly decided on Cinque Terre, Siena, Florence, Venice (Verona and Treviso) and possibly Amalfi. I have been to all of them except [...]

We decided to go to the Genesis concert for two reasons. The first, it was free. The second is our friend Skye is a huge fan. There was estimated to be about a half of a million people going to this concert in Circo Massimo, and boy did it seem like it!
Surprisingly for an event [...]

We decided to check out the Feste De L’Unità near Circo Massimo. I had a really good time. Not only did I eyewitness a transvestite brawling with some guy, I also found a hacky sack and a moo can toy that works by turning it upside down then right side up again. The moo sound [...]

On my eternal quest for good food and getting active, we took the scooter to Nemi one of my favorite little towns that is known for fragoline, or mini strawberries. Nemi is famous for these midget berries and prides themselves on the fact that they only grow here. It is about 30 minutes away [...]

It’s that time of year, the weather is nice and the clubs move outside! The stars aligned and one of my favorite hip-hop artists came to Rome! Fatman Scoop! I have been partying to his beats with The Crooklyn Clan since attending my first house party many years ago in high school (sorry Mom). I [...]

I have been wanting to write about “Daniele’s” pub for awhile now. It’s practically our second kitchen. The pub is basically a small, family restaurant located in our neighborhood. I love going there, it feels like you stepped into your uncle’s house (who’s house just happens to be full of amazing food). It was opened [...]

My all time favorite gelateria in Rome in right down the street from my house. It is all totally hand made on site and tastes amazing. My usual flavors are the pistacchio, stracciatella menta and the strange specialty of the house rose flavor. Rose is definitely an acquired taste, kind of a mixture of soap [...]

Yesterday was a fun break! I got to ride in my sister in law’s cute, brand new Ypsilon out to the Terme di Cretone. For us Americans, it’s basically a bunch of swimming pools filled with sulfuric water. Sulfur water is said to be beneficial to your health and good for your skin tone, hair [...]
