flo- pretty fun nightclub
i fratellini- best sandwich i’ve ever eaten
uffizi- popular art museum that SLAPS
move on- pub right by the duomo that has an upstairs record store and a little place to sip drinks while looking over the plaza
grom- the *good* gelato (italians get picky but this one is considered good)
walk up to piazzale michelangelo- lovely overlook over the city
honestly just walk around as much as you can. it’s an amazing city (:

The vintage shopping is pretty great in both cities. I remember Epoca in Florence and Twice in Trastevere.
Walking around Trastevere is cool as hell. Taverna Trilussa had delicious pasta and Roscioli was great for a mid-day bite
Drink lots of coffee and wine! Even the gas stations have good espresso.
If you have time, stop through Siena. Thought it was such a mysterious city with spooky nooks and winding maze-like streets. Half fort, half village.

avoid the crowds by getting up early to watch the sunrise at the Trevi Fountain. we grabbed a capuccino and pastry in the courtyard and spent an hour waking up to the most beautiful view. then we booked it to the Colisseum and explored it leisurely with only a handful of other people around. by the time we got out the lines were LONG and we still had a full day ahead of us!
also check out the Capuchin Crypt (if you don't mind looking at human bones). fascinating lore

its so fun. theres so many types. abundant cheap options to get into. i recommend looking at jet pens website for both articles and pens you can buy. its a topic with tons of history, but is still modern and active. i have a kaweco aluminum sport which is my favorite but i also love the lamy safaris. could go on for hours about this lovely invention

it’s such a awkward marker of a new year. a weird mix of wanting people to celebrate you, but feeling tired of the obligation to thank everyone that only reaches out once a year.
i always find birthdays really hard, and fairly disappointing.
my recommendation is to give yourself grace, and do what makes you happy. i know it’s such a generic rec but this past year on the actual day i just took it easy, treated myself to some takeout, and watched a show in bed. a few days after i got together with friends and we went to a restaurant i love but they’d never really wanted to go to. and then we ate homemade cake and watched a movie.
sorry if this isn’t a very upbeat response (: <3
happy birthday!! and know random people on the internet are celebrating you (:
