Rome is one of the loveliest utterly chaotic cities in the world. Obviously, there are ancient Roman ruins to see, the center of the Catholic universe and lots of gelato, but the Rome I love is the Rome you miss if you spend all your time on a hop-on-hop-off bus tour. When I go with Oh to Rome I will uncover even more off-the-beaten path things to do, see, eat and shop! You can Go with Oh too and with some extra dolce vita by entering to win one of their fab prizes: luggage, an ipad, a camera or 500 Euro of Go with Oh accomodation. Click here to get the skinny on this fab contest and enter to win.

The Five things I will do in Rome when I go with Oh are:

5. Watch my 70 Euro Italian leather handbag be crafted right in front of my eyes at Il Gancio. It is located on Via del Seminario 82-83. Their smaller bags are suprising affordable and they actually make bags in the shop. They have some really cute cross body bags that are fabulous quality, great for travel and totally on-trend.

4. Find a great spot to have drinks with a view. There is nothing better than a glass of bubbly and a great view…well except for perhaps designer shoes or handbags 70% off. I digress. I want to find the best place to have a glass of prosecco. Click here to find a list of Rome rooftop cafes and bars.

3. Create my own Pizza Crawl. Who needs a pub crawl when you could create a pizza crawl. If I Go with Oh I will scour the city and create a self-guided pizza crawl for all of you lovely readers.

2. Stroll the Streets and Soak in the real Rome. Many say the best museum in Rome is Rome itself and I couldn’t agree more. Getting lost in the streets is where you make the best discoveries…find the best shops, discover sumptuous gelato and uncover a quiet piazza.

1. Practice saying “Mama Mia in my Pizzeria” in one of Rome’s cooking classes. Italian food is undoubtedly the most universally appealing foods in the US. Even if you can’t cook a five course meal or know how to saute something, you  know how to make some pasta. Well, what could be cooler than saying you learned to cook Italian food in Rome. Who knows where that could lead…perhaps a cooking show on the food network…I mean Giada De Laurentiis is pretty and all….and she cooks great…and she is actually a chef…but after I take my Roman cooking class she is going to have to really step it up a notch if she wants to compete with me! Or maybe, I can just pretend I am as gorgeous, thin and smooth as Giada and film some funny bits in the cooking class to share with you Click here for a Roman cooking class.
