Cipriani Downtown
Cipriani Downtown is the kind of place where you want to go looking sophisticated swell but still maintain a casual vibe. The history of Cipriani goes back to the early 20th century in Venice, Italy, and after 100 years, there are branches all over the states and the world. Socialites, celebrities, Wall Street guys, artsy intellectuals and uber-rich jetsetters come to Cipriani for "molto buono" Italian comfort food and a welcoming atmosphere. You can surely spot some of the familiar faces from the film and magazine industries here. But be prepared to go a little over budget at Cipriana... Everything good doesn't come cheap, huh?
