Off The Runway: Where To Drink
When you are ready to wind down in Italy's capital of style, check out these venues.
Principe Bar (Principe di Savoia, Piazza della Repubblica 17): During Fashion Week, this is where people go to see and be seen within the glamorous hotel Principe di Savoia. You can enjoy all Milan has to offer here, with piano music and a bar that is really a work of art in itself.
Armani Privé (Via Croce Rossa, 2, Milan): As home to the fashion house king Armani, this is truly the palace of Milan. It is both ostentatious and understated with white walls and high ceilings, serving the best wines and aperitifs.
a_mi (Viale Pirelli Piero E Alberto, 14): In the high-ceiling, concrete den of a cocktail bar, you can can enjoy a lively atmosphere that is casual by Milan standards. Along with flashy cocktails, there is a short menu of Italian fare.
Light (Via Maroncelli 8): If you're looking to rub shoulders with Milanese models, head over to Light past midnight, but stay for the chic decor and elegant surroundings.
