It started in West Hollywood. In search of the cast from Grey's Anatomy, my friend took me to Cecconi's for breakfast. We sat on the patio (shown), enjoyed amazing coffee, and enjoyed a little slice of la dolce vita. This place reminded me of so much of the venerable San Domenico restaurant in NYC, and if it wasn't before noon, I would have loved to have been sippin' some Campari.Then last week, I went to see the Valentino documentary. Most of the movie took place in beautiful Rome and the next day I found myself on Kayak looking up flights to Milan. Unfortunately, flight prices are still a little steep for my budget, so I've decided to transport myself to Italy in a more economical fashion: by consuming as many blood orange cocktails as possible. According to New York, 'tis the season for this native Italian fruit.
