To really reach/understand a city you must live there or, at least, acting like you do. Nothing makes you feel more like a Milanese D.O.C. than stopping by Frida's on a Sunday morning to buy some flowers. Located in Brera this tiny shop has an extraordinary colour palette of flowers and plants. After that we just take a walk in the neighbourhood holding our bunch of Brassica Oleracea and our day is made.

Cozy ambient inside, but also with tables on the street, Champagne Socialist is a good place to try natural wines from Europe. You can also go there just to buy a bootle (or more, of course) and drink it at home.

Absolutely delicious pastries and one of the best cappuccino in town.

Charming place where to find books, wine, music, exhibitions and talks. My favourite bit is the lovely little backyard.

Spazio Rossana Orlandi, a store and gallery dedicated to avantgarde design, located in a former tie factory.
