I LOVE MILANO DURING FASHION WEEK BECAUSE:

of the espresso coffee. I like to go to the Pasticceria Sissi and have a decaffeinated espresso coffee as well as snack on their mini-panini or in the mornings, their baby croissants which have far less calories than the big ones. It also has a lovely garden and a wide selection of newspapers, some in English and French. The pasticceria is best known for it's Sachertortes -chocolate cakes - hence it takes it's name from the notorious Austrian Empress Sissi. My old and dear friend Franco Moschino amusingly used to send Easter eggs at Christmas time to his friends from this fashionable and luckily not to well know pastry shop.
