the prices? monstruous...
Restaurant #2: "il Cantuccio" in front of "Senato" (mid-high prices)
food tips: avoid bars & restaurant full of tourist. Overpriced and
undertasted :)

Oooh you're lucky, that's one of the loveliest cities in the world. There
is
a dinky jazz-cum-classical record shop (mostly CDs) opposite the Pantheon,
like 10 minutes on one side. (The side of the Minerva church) Food is
cheap
in all the cafes, I got by on pizza and icecream, go to the cafes in
Piazza
Navona and your girl can check out the vintage clothese shopping. If you
go
to the Vatican, go v early in the am as the queues take up to 2 hours and
it
closes early. If you go to the Forum, make sure you go up to the Palatine
as
well. It's the most beautiful place in the world.
... where to stay?
... what to do?
i'm going to visit rome for the first time from december 30 to january 6.
anyone know of good (not too expensive) hotels, nice restaurants,
recordstores, etc.?
i would also love to know of any events NYE worth visiting while i'm
there. not necessarily techno, preferably more house/hiphop/soul as i'm
going with my girl who prefers to hear different musical styles rather
than "some loop that goes on for 4 hours and hardly changes" (her
words).
