In Milan you cannot miss the shopping time in the so called “Quadrilatero della moda“: via Montenapoleone, via della Spiga, via Manzoni, corso Venezia… here are all boutiques and some cool Cafés to take a little rest after a while (Dolce & Gabbana Martini, for example)…
Talking about restaurants, some of them are very known, you can find them on touristic lists… but we personally prefer some places where you can have a very nice and refined atmosphere and high quality of food, without paying just the name…
To drink something or for the “aperitivo” the choice is pretty wide.
You could go to Brera once to check it out.
Radetzky in corso Garibaldi is a nice one, then at Arco della Pace, the beginning of corso Sempione (places like Living and Deseo are agreeable).
In piazza San Marco you can find others like N’ombra de Vin (very nice), Giardino 21, Fashion (they are close to Brera).
Then you can go to Ricci or Metropolis, which are more fashionable, in via Victor Pisani.
Piazza Vetra has a bar for each angle, and the Colonne di San Lorenzo are suggestive to see in this season (but I wouldn’t stay longer than a shot).
I guess the best is to move from one to the other in the same night, to enjoy the movida after the dinner and before the clubbing!
Clubs also are a few, I’d say Armani Privé over the others for the classy environment; even if I’m not sure it is opened yet next week…
