Zadig & Voltaire

The English edition of this post is available on my new blog a dusty olive green. Click HERE to go directly to the post.

Indrømmet, Zadig & Voltaire er ikke nogen lille lokal hemmelighed i Rom. Mærket er ikke engang italiensk, men fransk. Jeg er komplet forelsket i Zadig & Voltaire. Jeg elsker ALLE deres ting; tasker, punge, ure, deres casual tøj og deres mere elegante design. Hos Zadig & Voltaire er alt linet op på smukkeste vis, og det er meget svært ikke at blive begejstret. Kig forbi Via di Bocca Leone.

Finally! My Sweet Rome is available as a book and ebook in English!

I'm so happy to announce that I have finally finished the English version of My Sweet Rome as a book. This means that you can already now buy it online through Blurb. The book is available as a soft cover pocket size travel guide or, if you want the digital and more economical version, you can go for the e-book, which can be downloaded for iPad, Iphone etc.

So what do you get?

My Sweet Rome is a travel guide to the local Rome. The book contains more than 150 places; restaurants, cafes, shops, parks, architecture, art and culture, neighborhoods and so much more. Focus is on the local areas in Rome, but you will also find chapters dedicated to the center and the little treasures hidden here.

The guide should not be seen as a complete travel guide to Rome. On the contrary it excludes all ordinary tourist attractions, which means that it is perfect as a supplement to ordinary travel literature, which on the other hand may not focus on the places you can read about in My Sweet Rome.

Finally the book is filled with less ordinary photos from Rome including a series of photos from the "other" Rome.

My Sweet Rome is for you, who want to discover the Rome of the Romans. As they say:

When in Rome... do as the Romans do.

I hope you will buy my book and enjoy it on your vacation to Rome!

Daruma Sushi

If you are getting tired of pasta and pizza and want to go for a lighter luch or dinner maybe you should stop by Daruma Sushi. Daruma Sushi is the first chain of take away sushi in Rome and the quality and prices are really good. You decide yourself if you want to stop by yourself to get your fish or if you prefer to pay a little fee for delievery at your home or in the office. Even though Daruma is mostly known as a take away place the chain also has a sushi restaurant in EUR, where you can have a real dinner.

You find Daruma Sushi in Piazza Bologna and on Piazza Euclide, but the chain also has stores in several other areas of Rome, e.g. Prati, Monti, Ponte Milvio and the historical center at Piazza del Parlamento.

Gap

Just a very brief post to inform those of you who don't already know it, that Gap has opened an enormous shop in Rome. Now, I know this is mostly interesting for my Danish readers, since Gap is not present with shops in Denmark, but those of you coming from the States or other places where Gap is present, may want to know where you can find your local Gap :-)

The store has opened in Via del Corso in what used to be Messaggerie Musciali - later on Mondadori. The shop is unrecognizable after Gap has taken over. Gap is especially great when it comes to casual home wear (Perosnally I prefer the hoodies, t-shirts etc). Last but not least the floor upstairs has a great section of children's clothes.

Remember that I have dedicated a whole post to shops which you don't find in Denmark. Click HERE to see it.
