it's expanded to a restaurant-bar upstairs and an
enoteca
(wine bar). The Aladdin's cave-like food hall
is the best in Milan, stocked with some 3200 variations of
parmigiano reggiano
(Parmesan) at its
cheese counter, just for starters.
Drinking & Nightlife
Milanese bars are generally open until 2am or 3am, and virtually all serve
aperitivi
. The
Navigli canal district, the cobbled backstreets of Brera, and swish Corso Como and its
surrounds are all great areas for a drink, Milan-style. Clubs are generally open until 3am
or 4am Tuesday to Sunday; cover charges vary from €10 to upwards of €25. Door policies
can be formidable as the night wears on.

tensive selection of Italian wines, which you can enjoy after a browse in the cinema book-
shop.
