ESCRS MILAN CITY GUIDE 2012
Best of the bars
Popular with both tourists and local alike, Propaganda, on Via Castelbarco, is definitely the place to be. The club sells a variety of drinks and prices that wont bust your budget. For a bit of designer-inspired drinking, head to the Gold bar at the Piazza Risorgimento. Owned by Dolce and Gabbana the glitzy bar features elaborate décor and a formal restaurant upstairs. Read our SeeingMilan travel guide here or pick one up at booth N310.
Riveting restaurants
Buongusto on Via Caminadella is one of the best-value restaurants in the city. All pasta is freshly made in-house and some of it is sold in the neighbouring shop. However, if you're after an American-style restaurant then 202 The Grill is your best bet. The walls are covered in Banksy art and the restaurant has a downtown Brooklyn feel.
