I got lost in VENICE at Night. It was my first night there and my first trip ever to Europe. I was a young man of 23 and relatively new in my travel experience, how to get around and what to do. Yes I got lost and the Magical Maze, The Labyrinth that is Venice, with its winding streets, many bridges and narrow alleyways.
I learned a very important travel lesson that night. One of the first things you should ever do as you are in a new city and check into your hotel. While you're at the desk, make sure to take a couple Business Cards of the hotel. Put one in your wallet or purse immediately, and put another in one of your pockets. If you ever get lost, you can give it to a Taxi Driver (Not in Venice though) and tell him to go here.
Yes, I got lost in Venice. I didn't feel it at the time, but it's a quite Wonderful thing to do, getting Lost in Venice.

I found this wonderful little Hotel in 1995, on my special trip to Explore the BACARI (Venetian Wine Bars) of VENICE. I had read a tiny little article about them in the New York Times that peeked my interest and inspired me to open one in New York. I book a trip for 8 days in Venice to explore, feel, experience and find out everything I could about the Wine Bars of Venice (Bacari). And I did just that. With the knowledge of that trip and my many years experience in the restauranat business in New York, I made a business plan, found a partner to join me, and I created the First Ever Bacaro in The United States, called BAR CICHETTI in New York's Greenwich Village.

SAN GIACOMO
The OLDEST CHURCH in VENICE

At The RIALTO
If You stay at GUERRATO
This is just 200 Feet Away
.
The RIALTO MARKET
Over 700 Years Old
If you stay at Albergo Guerrato, you are Literally Several Feet from The RIALTO
You walk out the Door of the hotel, make a right, walk 30 Feet and you are Inside The RIALTO MARKET. It doesn't get much Better than that.

Trattoria Poste Vecie
Since 1500
This restaurant was a Favorite of GIACOMO CASANOVA

.
Where CASANOVA Often DINED
and SEDUCED
In the fish market area, in Campo delle Beccarie, there is instead Poste Vecie restaurant open since 1500, where Casanova used to hide away with friends and especially girl friends to enjoy luxurious banquets. The whole area of St. Mark’s Square and especially the old premises, starting from Caffè Florian, have been hunting grounds of the great seducer.
.

DO MORI
The erotic tour of Venice cannot exclude the Rialto area and in particular the Sotoportego dei Do Mori where in the tavern of the same name Casanova liked giving the first appointment to his ladies. Who showed up strictly masked.

I had read a little article in The New York Times about Venice, that mention the Bacari (Wine Bars) of Venice, and that's all it took. Just a little mention (one Paragraph) of these particular type of wine bars of Venice sparked my interest, and I just had to go to Venice and find out as much as I could about them, for I instantly felt that I wanted to open one in New York (which I did).
