Nilufar Depot: three storeys of historic and contemporary design, selected by Nina Yashar, one of Milan’s top design dealers. 

Best designer clothing store in Milan (in my humble opinion!).

Home of the negroni sbagliato. God fun for an aperitivo served in a gigantic glass, especially popular during Salone del Mobile.

An icon of 1930s art deco in the heart of Milan. Villa Necchi was built by Pietro Portaluppi for the Necchi Campiglio family, which belonged to the Lombard industrial bourgeoisie. 

Iconic pasticceria (owned by LVMH) serving beautifully crafted pastries and coffee since 1817. Don't skip on the pistachio croissant!
