4. Walk back through the streets of Florence.

5. Don’t follow a map but do follow your nose.

6. Find a Lampredetto cart and stand in line with a bunch of guys in painters work clothes.

7. Order a Lampredetto (cow stomach simmered in broth, sea salt, spiced oil, aeioli, fresh roll dipped in the juice).

8. Eat standing in the cold.

9. Fall in love.

The creative chef might: order an espresso at the nearest Tabacchi shop on your way back to the hotel.
