Popular Restaurants in Milan, Italy – Travel With Carnet .com Defines Hard To Find Trendy and Cool Restaurant Locations to Choose From






Ok, let’s say I’m a female traveling alone in Milan and want to have dinner in a place where I won’t stick out like a sore thumb as an American dining alone – and more importantly, a place that is perhaps a mecca for meeting local people.

I was looking on the dining recommendations on a site called TravelWithCarnet.com and they recommended exactly what I was looking for – very close to my hotel. I tried googling “hip restaurants in Milan” and that got me nowhere! So am really pleased I found this “insider’s travel site”.

The restaurant the site recommended and I selected was called TRATTORIA TORRE DI PISA. It’s on Via Fiori Chiari, right off the main boulevard, Via Pontaccio. While it has been known for its celebrity clientele, it also boasts the hip clientele of Milan; writers, poets, artists are regular fixtures at the small restaurant. Its historical celebrity visitors include: Sharon Stone, Veruschka, Marisa Berenson and Laura Antonelli. Back in the 60’s when the restaurant opened, Andy Warhol was a fan as was Catherine Deneuve, the Fendi sisters, John Kennedy Jr. and Silvio Berlusconi; all of whom regularly dined here. TravelWithCarnet gives you the inside scoop, very helpful for a woman traveling alone throughout Milan and other destinations in Europe.

Where To Shop In London, The Best Shopping Tips by Travel With Carnet.com

When traveling to London this summer, I plan on doing quite a bit of shopping! I’ve been researching where to go
and decided to start on Oxford Street.  There’s this site
that I found called TravelwithCarnet.com that makes
customizing my shopping excursion a breeze. After
reading the extensive descriptions of the shops, it maps
it all out for me and I only have to rely on one single
page to easily navigate from place to place. And… being
forgetful as I am, if I forget (or loose) the map, I’ll just
log in on my phone and pick it up on their site, where I
saved it!
The site lists all kinds of shopping destinations from
contemporary up-and-coming boutiques, to hidden treasuresand luxury flagships. The site
includes the store specialty, address, phone, website, and their hours. I’ll also beusing their
restaurant guide to decide to where to stop to eat --- on the map of course!
With the Travel With Carnet.com guide, shoppers now have a reliable source they can trust.

The Best Restaurants, Bars, Patisseries, and Tea Rooms in Paris!

There’s many travel guides out there, however I find that TravelWithCarnet.com’s updated directory of best restaurants and restaurant reviews in Paris contains everything (and more) you need to know before you go.

Their newly expanded city restaurant list includes over 100 free reviews to the worlds’ most talked about dining establishments. TravelWithCarnet.com even has a “menu reader” that includes all the preparations and sensitive food ingredients you might want to know about before your meal arrives table side.

Ok, I admit I’m a bit of a relentless Foodie but hey, you only live once and I don’t mind paying to dine at the world’s best establishments. So how do you find the best restaurants, bars, patisseries, tea rooms, etc.? You can bank on asking a total stranger for recommendations, ask a concierge or you can simply walk down any given street and look at menu and think “ok that sounds good”. I don’t know about you, but I’d prefer a much more trusted source.

Traveling to New York in Style with Tips from Travel with Carnet

If you’re planning a trip to New York, be prepared to be overwhelmed with the amount of sites that offer travel advice. After all I only had 5 days there and I had already invested more than that trying to decide what my best itinerary would be. And what was I gonna do? Carry around a binder with divider tabs as to options I picked out? And then go to google to map them just to find out I could never cover that much ground in 5 days? I was getting really frustrated.

Then, I stumbled upon a site TravelWithCarnet.com that has it all, and maps it all for you – even if you want to (ie) find a hotel that’s within walking distance the shopping district or the restaurant row you plan to indulge in.

Pick your favorites, the site will map them out and you can print it, or you can send the info to your smart phone and away you go!
