Combine a born-and-raised Florentine and a New Yorker and what do you get? A Insider’s guide to Florence’s hot spots, of course. My idea for this guide was to not overwhelm you with too many choices but to give you some local favorite spots. You get THE best coffee shop in florence, 2 Pasticceria’s, 2 non-touristy sightseeing options, 2 favorite gelatos, 3 hidden treasure thrift shops, 4 of the best places to drink a worthy cocktail, and 5 places to eat Tuscan food (1 is vegetarian for my healthy folks ;)). TIPS ARE WELCOME- Looking forward to hearing some reviews.
