    Hotel Agnello D'Oro

    Posted by stopper 29 May 2007

    I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL in Bergamo's Citta Alta. It has a One am curfew. They were not flexible AT ALL about negotiating this and refused to give us a key. On two occassions, over a long weekend break we had to leave friends early to make sure we were allowed back in. Some bars in the Citta Alta seemed to carry on untill at least three am. - with people of all ages strolling about the street outside our hotel enjoying themselves. Because we were there for a friend's wedding and there was also a cycling event that weekend we found it impossible to look for or find alternative accomodation at such short notice. If you like spontaneity then this is not the place to stay.

    Classic Cafe (Nakano)

    Posted by stopper 1 November 2005

    If you are interested in Manga, Anime and Vintage Tin Toys then Nakano Broadway Shopping mall is a must! While you are there look for the Classic Cafe... an eccentric coffee house that dates back to the 1930s... creaky sloping floors... decoesque wooden and leather furniture... worn out clocks and gramaphones... haunting classical music drifting out from a scratchy old soundsystem...

    When your eyes adjust to the wonderful gloom you may realise you are not alone... slowly becoming aware of other patrons resting in the shadows...

    Difficult to find... Impossible to forget...

    Nakano station. North exit.
    Enter Nakano Broadway Shopping mall and after around two minutes walk... the Classic Cafe is down one of the small streets to the left.
