Snapshots From Milan

Nobody wears sweatpants in Milan. Leaving one's living room is a serious exercise in fashionable expression.

Inside the Duomo.

Shopping is the main draw for tourists coming to Milan. I prefer my t-shirts and jeans, but watching from afar is fun.

Stepping out for a smoke.

At Rost-eat, a wonderful little panini and meat shop in the trendy canal district. Go there if you can: Ripa di Porta Ticinese, 49. The food is inexpensive and delicious.

Lake Como, an hour outside of Milan.

Too cool for school.

Heading home from work.
