New York beat this Street!!! Via dei Calzaiuoli is the shopping Mecca of Florence Italy! I loved the atmosphere! It was pretty crowded for a week day but obliviously Italian workers«breaks» last 3−4hrs during the late afternoon, than an American workers ½hr lunch schedules ;) hahaha. They have from high end to low end. What’s memorable were the old tall bldgs, the cobble stoned streets and the duffle bags that each demure lady would drag behind themselves with loads of clothes!!! Shop here when in Florence!!!

Who would have thought I would be writing a review for a street? But oh man, what a street. You are in essence, one of my most memorable streets as I spent many hours walking your cobblestone cracks and bumping into strangers as well as my Italian friends hustling to work. Lined with stores from leather shops to the Disney store, you end or begin at Piazza della Signoria and lead me to the steps of the Duomo, straight to the most beautiful man I’ve ever laid eyes on. My David. Or sometimes I stood at the doorway of the negozio to watch the steady stream of what it seemed like a gazillion of people a day walk on your hard stoned surface. Silly to say, but I love you Via dei Calzaiuoli.
