Tropicana Magazine May-Jun 2016 #107: The Glam Issue

Shopping and sightseeing is a great way to work up an appetite
for a great meal at some of the city’s best restaurants. Try the
seafood at Tuscan restaurant Da Giacomo, which is a favourite
of top designers Dolce & Gabbana; their tuna, scampi, crab
and seabass are their pride and joy, all served up alongside an
extensive array of wines. For a real fine dining treat in equally
fashionable surroundings, Nobu Milan located within the
Emporio Armani store on Via Pisoni should be on your list for
trendy Japanese cuisine.
The arrival of sunset is just the signal to start the party in
Milan; some of the most happening nightlife in the city can
be found at Bar Basso, Just Cavalli Hollywood and Alcatraz. If
you stop at Bar Basso, try their signature Negroni Sbagliato – a
blend of spumante, Campari, Italian vermouth and gin – that’s
been famous since the 60s. Just Cavalli Hollywood is great
for both dinner and the post-dinner party, while Alcatraz’s
transformation from a machine shop to a premier dance club
and concert venue is legendary.
“The Via Monte Napoleone is
a haven for tax-free luxury
items and the Galleria
Vittoria Emanuele II is one of
the world’s oldest and most
glamorous malls”
Whether you’re strutting on cobblestone streets in high heels or
watching models work their runway magic in the latest designs,
Milan is sure to keep you on your toes. Come for the clothes
but stay for everything else in Milan – with so much to see and
do in a city that retains the best of the old while embracing the
advancements of the new, it truly is a reflection of how tradition
and modernity can co-exist in successful harmony. Salute!
