Let’s do lunch, shall we?
Tuesday Lunch
Do you see what I see?
Vegetables! Woo!
I’m not gonna lie, it feels a little weird to be eating healthy food and not downing casseroles, souffles, fried pickles and Easter candy. But it feels kind of great, too.
Today’s lunch included a mozzarella, tomato and spinach bagelwich made with legit mozzarella that I bought at the grocery store last night.
Mozzarella Bagelwich
I was inspired to buy the fancy kind of mozzarella after Ryan’s mom used some of it to create a delicious caprese salad on Easter. Sometimes fancy cheese is worth the price tag.
On the side I enjoyed little bitty sweet peppers. Aren’t they cute? They were so adorable that I could just eat them right up… and so I did. 😉
Great lunch!
Now for some Europe fun… but first, the Fashion page was updated this afternoon!

How fun! I can’t wait to hear about your trip to Europe. Also, I was wondering if there were any tips you could share for people (like me) who don’t have really good eating habits already, and how I can just get started. I’m tired of eating things that are bad for me.
I am surprised I didn’t see this on your list – Angelina’s in Paris has the best hot chocolate I have ever had in my entire life. It is a MUST drink/see/eat. Their house desert – the Mont Blanc – is AMAZING as well. My mom and I both had the macaroons at Laduree and the hot chocolate at Angelina’s and we both favored the hot chocolate. I hope you get to make it there!!
Cool guide!
I need something like this for my one day stop in Manchester in June. I’m accompanying my boyfriend on an Ireland tour but my flight has me staying a day and a half in Manchester alone. I’ve never been to England so I don’t know a thing about it!
Sounds amazing! Enjoy 🙂
WOW– so many suggestions you are going to have a fabulous time and eat so much great food 🙂
Add Pret to your London list. It is a deli chain but seriously, i crave their chicken salad sandwich and chocolate croissants DAILY. I can’t match their mayo : (
Thanks for the travel ideas! I am going to Paris and Reims in July and have not had a chance to do any planning yet. Your list will definitely help me!
The true beauty of YOUR OWN trip is truly making it your own – stop at the trattorias that entice you in Italy, rather than go from a list – maybe it was perfect for someone else, but not for everyone, every day. Be guided by your senses – and add in your sense of adventure and enjoy and be spontaneous.
Of course this comes from someone who eschews “must dos” on trips – I love to be guided by my own whims and what sparks me.
Have fun – it’s hard to find a bad place – not like the 1,001 chain restaurants in a city here.
Rome:
Check out the Spanish Steps, Old Rome (where all the ruins are), a great restaurant:
ristorante Da Fortunato (http://www.ristorantefortunato.it/)
Tomb of the Unknown
Florence
Ponte Vecchio
duomo
Venice
Like other’s said besides St. Mark’s square try to get off the beaten path, lots of fun stuff.
London-
Go to Abby Road
Walk through Notting Hill’s markets (on the weekends)
watch the changing of the guard at the palace
Have dessert at Harrods
Check out the Icebar London
I am sure I could think of a ton more, but there’s just a few
In Paris- go to Refuge du Fondue, it’s a quaint fondue restaurant that is SO fun.
In London – go to Borrough Market, it’s a market that’s been regarded the best in the world, surpassing Pike Place in Seattle. Try the potatoes with cheese and the grilled cheese. Also – go to Sophie’s in London, quaint restaurant – very cute.
Not that you don’t have enough suggestions already…. BUT I noticed no one mentioned Notting Hill in London! (except one of the comments on this post) It’s a really cool area and has the Portobello Road market (have you seen Bedknobs and Broomsticks?… anyone?) there are lots of neat places so shop, obviously, in the market, and it has a really great fresh food section if you go a little farther down. A great place to buy a cheap, fresh lunch while you’re touring around. Someone did mention it, but cider is the best – and it’s so much better in the UK! Strongbow is my favorite 🙂
Also, I know this probably isn’t something you can pnly get in London, but when I lived there, my favorite discovery was nutella hot chocolate… OMG so amazing. I actually remember having some as I was walking through Notting Hill and the market.
Oh I want to go back! I second Dar Poeta in Rome in a big way (bufala pizza is to die for). Get there verrrry early bc the line will be out the door before they even open.
I studied abroad in Florence and we ate lunch at the Oil Shoppe every single day. Such great sandwiches (meatball) and cheese fries! Also my favorite meal of my life is at Golden View Open Bar (across Pointe Vecchio). Four years later and I still dream about the Gnocchi with Gorgonzola cream sauce and a delicious chocolaty dessert which I cant remember the name of.
And also Cinque Terre is not in Rome (and quite far..but a day trip from Florence!) but if you have time to make the trip do it! Its the most gorgeous place I’ve ever been. Bring a swimsuit and enjoy some sun and their delicious pesto.
The first things that came to mind were The British Museum in London, as well as Picadilly (sp?) circus. It’s an awesome area and a great place to see a show (inexpensive or expensive). I don’t love museums in general, but the British Museum was pretty neat!
Ahhhh im so jealous!! haha and excited for you 😀 you’re going to have an amazing time!
It’s on your list already, but do not pass up Giolitti’s. It is life changing gelato. We went out of our way to stop by twice a day while in Rome. AMAZING!
Great advice! When you’re in Paris, don’t get crepes just anywhere! A lot of them aren’t as foodgasmic as other places! The best one if the Creperies “Le Sarassin et le Froment” (which is on 84 Saint Louis en L’Ile. Conveniently, it’s right next to a Berthillon shop so you can have a two in one crepe and ice cream day… yum!). Some of my family is around that area and I definitely go there every time I’ve been to Paris. There’s nothing like their crepes (and they go heavy on the nutella, which I love). You’re going to have a blast!
Oh, if you can, also take a “bateau mouche” when you’re in Paris as well. They’re the boats that take you up and down the Seine and you can see the sights from the river. It’s pretty touristy, but it’s also very beautiful and worthwhile 🙂
I didn’t comment on your other post but you would love going to mercato centrale. I studied abroad there and to me it screamed Italian life. It’s a huge market with tons of meat bread dairy and veggie vendors. It’s amazing. And delicious. For a snack, stop at Pugi in piazza San Marco and get bread w olive oil and salt. It will change your life. In terms of bars i don’t know that you’d like twice or Astor. They have a lot of Americans and they are very clubby. The disco central park is the best one. It’s open air and opens up may 1st. It’s a little on the edge of town but it’s unique. Have fun on your trip!!
Your trip sounds amazing!
You definitely should try to go to Murano when you’re in Venice (you just take the water taxi) so you can see them blowing glass to get some really pretty glass flowers and necklaces and all that.
Also while in London you should stop by Covent Garden. Theres an open air market and tons of bars and restaurants. My favorite is Punch and Judy’s. Also if you go to Kensington Gardens you can get tea in the Palace (it’s where Princess Diana used to live) Also you have to try a drink called a snake bite its cider beer mixed with a light beer like Fosters with blackcurrant in it… sounds gross but super good!
Hope you have a great time!
You should add paddleboating on lake Lucerne and the Orangery for Tea in London — It’s in the middle of Kensington Gardens and gorgeous/delicious.
I also second getting lost in Venice!
Have fun!
Try and get out to see Winsor Palace – it isn’t quite in London, but the train ride isn’t to bad. I loved looking around at all the rooms.
Love your colorful peppers!
While in the UK you have to try a Custard Slice… it’s to DIE for! And, if you’re not a big beer/larger fan (like me) try a Cider. Either Strongbow or one I LOVE is Kopparberg Strawberry & Lime. I was born & raised in the UK so i would recommend a gazillion things, but these are the 2 that spring to mid right now in the food dept.
Now shopping, yes the usual Harrods, Marks & Spencers and so on. BUT, i’ve noticed from your blog that you like Forever 21 & Charlotte Russe, if that’s the case you’ll HAVE to go to PRIMARK! It’s like Forever 21 on steroids! =) I was in the UK back in March for a visit, it was the 1st time for my husband and he had an amazing time. I hope you and your family enjoy your trip =)
Just saw this article on cnn.com…
http://www.cnn.com/2011/TRAVEL/04/25/travel.safety.tips/index.html
Watch out for gypsies at the Florence train station!
I also suggest you go to Covent Gardens (during the weekend if you can) and try a Pimms Lemonade if you are thirsty for a cocktail!
http://www.wafflehouse.co.uk/st-albans.html This place is a little outside of London but totally worth the trip. They put almost anything you can imagine on a waffle from the traditional breakfast toppings, to chili, hummus, and ice cream. St Albans is also a super cut little village if you want to see some English country side!
When in Paris you MUST go to Versaille. The gardens are breathtaking and the place all in itself is too beautiful to not see when there.
oh my gosh in paris, you HAVE to go to the Musee d’Orsay. I actually reccommend it over the Lourve, if you like impressionist art like Van Gogh, Monet, Manet, and Degas. It.is.amazing. also, you MUST stop by Sainte Chapelle church. The main sanctuary is wall-to-wall stained glass and it is breath taking. it is pretty close to notre dame and soooo worth it!!
also, while in paris, the museum pass is a must. you pay one cheap price for the pass and it gets you in to mostly everything that you want to see!!
Yahoo has an article on the World’s Best Pizza and Naples, Italy is number one! Check it out–maybe you can go there for pizza!
http://travel.yahoo.com/p-interests-39283338
A few more to add to the list. I went to Paris, London, Florence and Milan about 4 years ago so I actually had to go back and look at my pictures to recall some things! In Paris.. go see the Palace of Versailles and the Sacre Coeur (Sacred Heart church). It is a Roman Catholic church and it was really special for me to see because that is the name of the church I grew up going to in my hometown which is closing due to financial reasons. Also take the boat tour (Bateaux Mouches???) it takes you up and down the river and at night you can see the Eiffel tower lit up…very pretty! In Florence, see the Ponte Vecchio (oldest Bridge in Italy) ..BEAUTIFUL! My favorite spot in all of Italy (at least from where I have been lol), and if you can take a day to goto Lake Como..you will not regret it!
I can send you a sneak peek into my young woman’s guide to Paris if you like – tons you’ll love!!
Have to recommend Borough Market in London, the food selection is absolutely INCREDIBLE and it’s so much fun!
http://www.boroughmarket.org.uk
The website is great and really helpful, especially if you’re feeling pressed for time and want to plan out some stalls that you think are must-see (and eat).
This is somewhat of a long shot, but if for some reason you happen to be at Elephant and Castle, there is (was? I was there last summer), all kinds of booths set up outside the mall there and I had the most incredible Jamaican food
I have had the torellini at Leoni it’s amazing!!!!!!! Florence has great shopping too…. great leather coats/bags Noi – in Florence i have been there 2x and bought a fur from there when he came to NYC last year amazing!!! also Gianni Chiarini i bought the cutest clutch and reasonablly priced!
Before checking out the Louvre, be sure to check with your hotel about it’s busy time. Granted my trip was well over 20 years ago but busy is still busy. It took us over an hour just to get inside and it was so crowded and I mean literally pushing your way through the crowd packed. My mom and I found the Mona Lisa, saw it and left. We had no room whatsoever to check out anything else. Good luck and have fun!
Hi Julie,
I am so jealous of your upcoming trip! I just got back from 2 weeks in Rome visitng my sister and I lived there for 6 months a few years ago.
The weather was PERFECT (70’s every day) and you MUST try these 3 places (only a few of many amazing places).
1. San Crispino for Gelato. It is near the Trevi but off a back side-street. It is ranked by NYT and really is amazing. (If you have this and then try the chain Blue Ice you’ll notice the difference).
2. Dinner: Osteria del Sostegno. Near the Pantheon but off the beaten path (Via delle Colonnelle, 5). Closed on Mondays. This is a favorite of locals and my priest who lived in Rome recommended it. Best restaurant I’ve been to in Rome.
3. Roscioli. Near Campo di Fiori.(Via dei Chiavari, 34,). Go here for lunch and get pizza or if you on on Thursdays get the gnocchi! (every Thursday is gnocchi thursday). I went all the time when I lived here and when I went back a few weeks ago my favorite worker remembered me!
I won’t go on and on here but if you want any more Rome recommendations and/or advice let me know, I have plenty! 🙂
Ps. Love your blog! Look forward to getting the email every day at work for a short distraction 🙂
Great post Julie! I lived in Florence, Italy for a while and also have experience doing some graduate school work in Rome. Just wanted to share some additional tips with you!
St. Peter’s Basilicia is in Vatican City. Make sure you see the Sistine Chapel when you’re there. Double check the hours because sometimes it will just close on certain days at certain hours for no apparent rhyme or reason (I know b/c this happened when my parents came to visit and we were already standing in line. They turned everyone away after waiting about 30 minutes.) Some of the best sauces come from Rome, so be sure to try Amatriciana sauce.
Cinque Terra means “Five Towns” in Italian and are actually five towns that you can hike through along the Italian Rivieria. They aren’t located near Rome though (if Cinque Terra is a restaurant in Rome then totally ignore that!).
In Florence, you may want to take a bus up to Piazza de Michelangelo. It’s an extremely long walk, even for Italian standards. You can buy bus tickets at any Tabachi. Make sure you go to the Uffizi and the Boboli Gardens as well as see the David at the Academia. Also make sure you stop by the Piazza de Signoria. It’s am amazing square especially at night that is breathtaking (I got engaged there!). Also, while you’re in Florence make sure you try anything with truffles or tartufi. Truffles are amazing and they put them in a lot of their fresh pasta. A must to try! Also, ask around for the “secret” bakery. There’s a bakery in Italy near the Bargello and if you’re out late at night, they are already starting to make their fresh pastries for the morning rush. You can buy a fresh, hot chocolate croissant right out of the oven at 2am for super cheap. Ask any American students while you’re there… they will likely know what you’re talking about.
If you’re going to be in Italy during July, this is awesome because the entire country has a huge sale on everything especially clothes and purses! When I mean everything I mean Gucci, Prada, Furla, etc. I’ve seen 50% off sales at these stores.
Have an amazing trip and hope these tips help!
I am so jealous reading this! I’ve been to Paris, The Netherlands, and Germany but there are so many other places in Europe I’d love to explore. I fully plan on having A European honeymoon none of that Hawaii nonsense that can wait for later in life! Hope you have a wonderful time:)
In Paris y’all have to go to Versailles Palace. I was with a tour group in Paris and we did not spend near long enough there! I could have spent hours touring the gardens alone!
So excited for you and your European adventure!
I lived in Dublin for a summer and in Germany for a year and I must say Lucerne is one of the most amazing places I have ever seen. If you can, in addition to riding to the top of the mountain, take a boat ride around the Lake, it’s breathtaking.I think they actually sell tickets that are for the cruise and the train ride. I actually posted a picture on my blog last Friday from my little cruise around Lake Lucerne: http://audrunner.com/2011/04/22/foto-friday-earth-day/
I wish I could offer suggestions for places to eat in Lucerne, but I’m pretty sure I ate in some mall cafeteria.. but cafeterias in Europe, particularly Switzerland, are about 1000 times better than any one you’d find in a mall here! I remember amazing salad bars and drinks like you would believe.
Not sure if anyone mentioned this or if this matters, but in Switzerland (not sure about other European countries), when you ask for water, they will typically bring you gas/fizzy/seltzer type water, so be sure to specify. I quickly learned the different in German between “tap” water and “gas” water! Water is more expensive then beer, I promise you.
Okay, this is super long. Can’t wait to read along. You are going at such a lovely time of year!
Paris – you must go to Montmarte to see the artists and see the sacre coeur! Also go by the Moulin Rouge and snap a pic its in that area as well. Also try some french onion soup! Go to Galeries Lafayette and it will amaze you! Go to the food section!
Venice – don’t have espresso in piazza San Marco because its freaking expensive! Go on the Rialto Bridge! If you want to splurge go for a gondola ride. The drink in Venice is a Spritz, this funky orange cocktail. Prosecco is best in the Treviso province, super yummy! In Venice they have lots of nice glass stores.
Florence/Firenze: Go over the Ponte Vecchio (The old bridge). Try and find all the Michelangelo statues there to. One is located on this big hill overlooking Florence.
In Italy you must have pizza (seriously you will never like north american pizza ever again haha), have some gnocchi (potato based pasta), tiramisu and gelato!
London you can pretty much do it in a day. Go to the Covent Gardens Market its really cool!
And now I am green with envy haha enjoy your europe trip!
London- Portabello Market is WAY cool, it’s by Notting Hill (I know, like the movie!!). I would recommend high tea at the Portrait Gallery- it’s way better than Harrod’s (also, less expensive), and it’s near all the fancy museums, Trafalgar Square. AND you must see a show! Their production of Phantom is SO good!
Windsor Palace is phenomenal, crown jewels- hello!
and kensington Palace is neat too- it’s where all the modern day Princesses lived (Diana, etc.)
I also loved the Tower of London- the boat rides they do are great.
I have some places to add to your list of things to do in Paris: you have to go to the Palace of Versailles and see the amazing Hall of Mirrors. I also think you need to see Sacre Coeur as well, it is breathtakingly gorgeous!
In Venice should also do the clock tower, the bell tower which is directly across from it where you have panoramic views of all over Venice, st marks basillica, and a gondola ride. don’t eat at any of the restaurants near the rialto bridge as its a very touristy area (but do take in the beauty of the Rialto Bridge 🙂 ) and avoid at all costs, those restaurants where they offer the menu in 5 different languages. You will likely walk out very dissapointed. Also the accadamia museum is lovely and how could I forget a must see, dodges palace – we did a tour in an afternoon of dodges palace and st. marks basillica. If you made reservations ahead of time for the tours, you bypass the lines. Its super easy and you can make them online. hope that helps. 🙂
Haha by ‘Hobnobs’ do you mean the biscuits? If so, buy packets to take back 🙂
The Spanish steps in Rome are fun! Also in Venice definitely check out the Rialto bridge! Great view 🙂 Hope you have a great time!
Hi there,
Just came across your blog recently and wanted to say ‘hi’ and give a few recs on my favorites in Rome!
A great gelato place in Rome is San Crispino. Theres one near the pantheon and one near the Trevi fountain. All their gelato is all-natural with no artificial additives and they have fun and unique flavors.
http://www.ilgelatodisancrispino.it/dove
Also, Maccheroni, also near the pantheon, is a fantastic place for dinner. I highly recommend it. They serve typical and simple Italian, specifically roman, cuisine. My favorite is their spaghetti pomodoro, the black truffle trofie pasta, and a super creamy goat cheese pasta. But reservations MUST be made because they are literally full every night. It’s on Piazza delle Coppelle, 44.
Have a great trip!
Oh and one last thing, if you’re in Rome and happen to be walking along Via Cola di Rienzo or around the area make sure to check out Mo’s Gelaterie. (building #174) Their dark chocolate gelato is to die for!
A few more Paris recs…
L’As du Falafel in the Marais neighborhood has the best falafel.
I like the Museum D’Orsay and the Rodin Museum more than the Louvre (esp. the gardens in nice weather).
The Luxembourg Gardens are great for a peaceful walk or impromptu picnic with crepes or cheese and baguette. Another little green spot is the Place des Vosges in the Marais, very peaceful and pretty.
Macarons from Laduree or Pierre Herme.
A few restaurants we loved for nicer dinners: Benoit, Ambassade d’Auvergne.
In London, I love the Tate Modern, high tea at any of the super-nice hotels (reservation required), and had an amazing upscale Indian dinner at the Cinnamon Club.
In Rome, there is a really pretty restaurant just outside the Piazza Navona called Santa Lucia. You need reservations, but the little outdoor terrace is so cute and the food was delicious. I would also try to get over to the Vatican Museum early in the day if you want to go through it. The lines get long! Also, the Cinque Terre is a little row of 5 towns on the Italian Riviera that is much closer to Florence or Milan than it is to Rome.
I’ve been reading your blog for a while, but this is my first comment!
I noticed that your Venice list was a little light- I agree with everyone about getting lost, but there’s a few more must see places!
1. The Jewish Ghetto- This is where the “ghettos” first started. As in a specific area where a group of people were forced to live. Its pretty cool and has some great breads/cookies too!
2. Murano- you can get the glass anywhere in Venice, but the trip out to the island is really neat!
3. The Rialto Bridge is pretty cool and has a lot of little shops/restaurants along the canal
4. St. Mark’s Basilica- I’m sure you’ll go there, but if possible try to go at a time when they will change the lights. When I studied abroad, they led us in, shut off the lights, and then slowly turned them on. It was pretty amazing b/c of the gold tiles everywhere.
5. Squid Black Ink pasta! It’s awesome and try to go to small/not touristy places for something good and cheap!
Have a great time!!
From a Londoner:
Forget Harrods. It is an overpriced tourist trap – the best Department store (if you’re into that kind of thing) is Liberty. At the other end of the scale Camden market has also gone waaaay downhill in the past 10 years. Skip it and go to Portabello!
A full English breakfast is a must. I like the Electric Brasserie (on Portabello Road – convenient for the market, which is fun), or The Wolesely in Picadilly is also an affordable treat for breakfast (runs until 11.30am in a beautiful art deco restaurant with silver service)
The best food market in London is Borough Market.
Pub food is famously bad! (Unless you find a gastro-pub)
Fish and chips are great, but get them at a proper take away place, wrapped up in paper, not in a restaurant. Otherwise it isn’t the same.
For
Being a Swiss lady by heart, you MUST have the pretzel bread as well. Any bakery should have it-pretzel bread or roll. If you ever swing by Germany, get a real pretzel-TO die FOR!
Love your lists-they look great! I love London 🙂 Your list looks pretty legit already though!
Great lunch today, by the way. SO STOKED for you to go, Julie 🙂
