ESCRS MILAN CITY GUIDE 2012
Best of the bars
Blue Note Milano, located on Via Borsieri, offers a regular set list of internationally renowned jazz players and beers to match. If you're after a livelier night then head to Alcatraz on Via Valtellina, with its busier club and gig nights. Dance to pop and rock hits or even a Pink Floyd tribute act. Read our SeeingMilan travel guide here or pick one up at booth N310.
Riveting restaurants
For vintage and retro Italian cuisine book a table at Vinile. Not only does the restaurant pride itself on offering the finest choice of Italian food, there are also a collection of old records for sale. If you're looking for a break from Italian dishes then make your way to Iyo- a minimalistic, painfully stylish Japanese restaurant. You can read more about Milanese restaurants in SeeingMilan. » MORE
