During our honeymoon, my wife and I stayed at the Hotel Straf. The hotel has an individual quality, and the bar seems to be a hub of activity. Grab a spritz, some nibbles from the bar, settle down on the big square cushions and immerse yourself in Milanese streetlife with the locals. I have to warn you against dining at Biffi in Galleria Vittorio Emanuelle. I'm sure the restaurant has a long and esteemed heritage, but nowadays the food is disappointingly average. If you're there for the architecture, and people-watching, fine, but don't go there expecting great food, or you will be disappointed, especially when they present you with the bill.
