Bar Italia is a classic spot in the Soho neighborhood of London. The best for people watching and generally feeling like you’re in it. The patronage is diverse: bikers, tweedy intellectual families, Italians, women in white skinny jeans sitting on mens laps. Getting a table outside at night on a weekend can be difficult, but it is worth stalking the movements of whoever looks like they ’re on their last sip of cappuccino. I’m not sure exactly what the history is, but you can just tell there’s history, which is a special thing in its own.

🍝when it comes to an Italian restaurant you really have to aim for middle-of-the-road. it can’t be too nice. you want BIG plates of pasta and parm dust on everything and unlimited warm but not house-made bread. a waitress with really long coffin nails. photos of famous people on the walls and a group of questionable well-dressed men smoking outside. that’s where the real Italians go and that’s where you’ll have the best dining experience

This will fix you, I promise. But actually, it’s something I have to do for American Style all the time and I think it keeps your heart and mind elasticated.

This changed my life. It makes you feel less like you’ve washed up on the shores of God knows where. Your own slippers and robe far away from home bring comfort and a little glamour — suddenly your suitcase is no longer a plastic-shelled roller bag but a trunk carrying the contents of your life. Complete with an eye mask (as decorative or functional as you need) and whatever knocks you out at night.
