Closing Bell: Amalfi Coast, Here We Come

We haven’t had a real vacation since we started Brownstoner over four years ago and after the last five months of writing the site almost entirely by ourselves while juggling Flea-related responsibilities, we are beat. So tomorrow we’re heading out with Mrs. B and a few friends (sans kids) to the Amalfi Coast for a week. We may write a few posts on the local architecture while we’re there, but by and large we’ll be leaving the blog in the extremely capable hands of Gabby Warshawer who, many of you will remember, played an integral editorial role in the site in 2007 and 2008. We look forward to returning full of blogging vim and Flea vigor. Ciao!
LOL, altervoce. Me too. Plus you know taking out the garbage, etc.
As a parting and a thank you for all these years of enjoying your site, a couple of very good restaurant suggestions:
Don Alfonso 1890 In Sant’Agata dei due Golfi http://www.donalfonso1890.com one if the best restaurants in the South, for a real splurge!
or Taverna del Capitano http://www.tavernadelcapitano.it also not shabby, if you can find Marina di Cantone…
In Maiori : Il faro di Capo D’orso, http://www.capodorso.org fantastic views and excellent food (fish)
In Minori, for great fish : L’Arsenale tel 089851418
In Positano, apart from Il San Pietro, Da Vincenzo touristy by sight, but not foodwise! Let me know if you go to any of the above and… Buone vacanze!
Arrivederci!
Well deserved vacation!
Have a beautiful and restful holiday.
Che bello per voi. Sono cosi gelosa!
You must oreder the favorite local dish – scoglio which is shell fish in pasta. Also the limoncello is some Italy’s finest.
For an interesting night out visit the Africana club. Its built into the side of a cliff and half of the dance floor is made of glass so you can look down into the ocean and watch the fishies swim while you cut a rug.
For an off the beaten path trip visit the town of Ravello.
Have a great time and please post pics when you come back.
enjoy!
ciao!
Enjoy Praiano – it’s a great, quiet town. Try and make it to La Africana and don’t let the church bells of St. Luca keep you up all night.
And for a great meal, try Armandino’s down by the beach – http://www.trattoriadaarmandino.it/
Enjoy and we’ll look forward to your Amalfi posts!
bon voyage! triple jealous – mainly b/c you’re sans kids, secondly for the trip.
