Free food in bars!
by Zlur
Ok so you know how in Spain you get served free tapas (snacks) when having a drink? Florence is way more generous, because in almost every bar/club we visited there was ample food on offer for anyone who bought a drink! And I mean real food, dishes of pasta, italian antipasti, bread, cheeses...etc etc food that you could get full up on! We were astonished at this and wondered if we were attending a private party by mistake; their response was 'help yourself, as long as you buy a drink from the bar!' sweet :)
Modern sculpture
by codrutz
Right in front of the Palazzo Pitti I saw this sculpture that resembled so much with the works of Brancusi - the great Romanian sculptor. I guess I saw more in Florence, meaning there was some kind of street exibit. I wonder if somebody could tell me which school or artist was that.

Trendy and modern bar
by alemir82 about Dolce Zuccerho
This trendy and modern bar often hosts small-scale art exhibitions, and is very popular with a hip crowd of locals and tourists. This is a great place to kick back, have a few drinks and mingle with some of the locals.
One more fantastic restaurant
by noirroi about Alle Murate
Alle Murate is now situated in the Palazzo of Judges and Notaries (13th century), as they say - during the day it works as a museum. They even have audioguides. In fact now you can observe only few walls with old frescoes (paintings). But one of these frescoes contain portrets of Dante and Bocacco. As for the food - it's a highest quality quisine - you can try their degustation menu and feel it yourself. But as usually (in Italy) - meat is not very good, just nice. Wine list is rich, try Supertoscans - really good wines. Prices are high, but still a little bit lower than Enoteca Pinocceria. We spent in Alle Murate the whole 2007-08 New Year evening in a company of 6 persons - the bill was abt 1300 euro. Still I recommend trying this restaurant at least once :-)
