20 PERSONAL Recommendations: Hidden brunch spot, blueberry steak, vintage shopping, day trips and more... Come with me to Florence, Italy, where the beauty of the past seamlessly intertwines with the present. This charming city, nestled in the heart of Tuscany, offers a chance to wander through its historic streets, eat incredible food, and do some fun vintage shopping.

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.
