Condé Nast Traveler's Alternative Bucket List
"Have you ever sat in the lobby of a grande dame during the first day of a major cultural event? It's quite the spectator sport. Get yourself a comfy seat and a Negroni in the lobby of Venice’s Danieli by noon on the first day of the Biennale. The cast that parades through with their entourages (and small dogs/monkeys/weasels) is insane: a who’s who of the art world, with fabulous outfits and outrageous requests to boot."
