(Catania) Porta Garibaldi ★★★

Piazza Palestro, 95122 Catania CT, Italy Just an old gate, but nice walk from Piazza del Duomo  2024-09-16 MON "The Porta Garibaldi, originally built as the Porta Ferdinandea or Porta Ferdinanda, is a triumphal arch, built in 1768, located at the end of Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, between the Piazza Palestro and Piazza Crocifisso in the quartiere Fortino of Catania, region of Sicily, Italy. It was built to celebrate the marriage of the Bourbon king Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies to the Austrian princess Maria Carolina d'Asburgo-Lorena." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porta_Garibaldi,_Catania For the last day in Catania, I didn't have must-do's andy more, so we just took a walk far west to this gate. It was under construction but we still could see the exterior. "Soli Deo Salvatori Nostro" "To God alone, our Savior" back to Catania (2024.9)

(홍대) 지로우라멘 ★★★★★

이미지
서울 마포구 와우산로29가길 79 1층   상당히 진한 국물의 지로우라멘 10. 대기자 많음. 맥주가 비싸다. 2025-02-07 FRI 금쏘 전 저녁.  홍대 일찍 간 김에 헌혈부터.  생각보다 자리 여유가 있길래 손님이 많은 편은 아닌가보다 했는데, 자리에 앉자마자 대기자가 문 밖에 줄을 섰다. 매장은 좁은 편. 4인석 5개 정도. 혼자 와도 4인석에 앉더라. 붙어있는 2인석, 4인석이 남아서 어디 앉으라는 건지 종업원한테 확인하고 있는데 뒤에 왠 남자가 갑자기 밀치고 나오더니 먼저 4인석에 앉았다. 라멘은 지로우라멘, 폭탄라멘 두 종류, 폭탄이 칼로리폭탄이라면 (고기 등이 많이 들어간 거라면) 고민했을텐데, 매운 폭탄인 것 같아서 기본 지로우 라멘으로 주문. 보통면에 진하게.  아사히 생맥주 大 9 맥주가 비싼게, 혹은 비싼 것 밖에 없는게 아쉽다.  지로우라멘 10 비주얼이 평범하다고 생각했는데 국물이 엄청 진하다. 이것만으로 라멘 분야에서는 별 다섯 개. 마늘 필요한지 물어보시는데 요청하면 이렇게 가져다 주신다. 마포 목록으로

(Catania) Chiesa di San Nicolò l'Arena ★★★

Esedra di Piazza Dante, Piazza Dante Alighieri, 12, 95124 Catania CT, Italy  Beautiful and calm inside. Not many visitors. Nice walk from the Via Crociferi. 2024-09-16 MON Interesting monuments.  While walking down the  Via Crociferi , you can see this top of a church to the west. The exterios looks quite tough but it's different inside. When I took this photo I just thought that it's just operation hour of the church, but didn't read it. I definitely could go up to the roof if I knew it's only 1 euro. Read the sign! There were only a few visitors including us.  back to Catania (2024.9)

Via Crociferi, 91, 95124 Catania CT, Italy   Not much to look around but good to chill in a quiet garden 2024-09-16 MON back to Catania (2024.9)

(Catania) Barrique Bistrot ★★★★

이미지
Via Etnea, 56, 95131 Catania CT, Italy Nice outdoor tables along the Via Etnea facing Basilica della Collegiata. Good wine and food. friendly staff. 2024-09-16 MON Brunch on the last day in Catania. I was searching for a restaurant after checking out from the B&B, and this shy friend seemed to need a little love from me. We've never eaten in the  Via Etnea , so I picked this bistrot with tables along the street facing Basilica della Collegiata . The menu is also available on the web . The young-looking waitress shyly asked us if we're Koreans, and also said that she loves Korea so much that it's her dream to visit Korea some day. Officially it's the age of K-culture, and a big change for a travler who's been asked if he is a Chinese or Japanese for years.
