Palermo

By day Palermo's ancient markets sell fish; by night the Vucciria becomes an open-air party where the counters turn to bars, grills appear on the cobbles and the whole square drinks in the street.

About this place

Order stigghiola or a pani ca meusa (spleen sandwich — commit) and a plastic cup of wine from Taverna Azzurra. Thursday to Saturday has the fullest crowds; Ballarò offers the scruffier, more local rehearsal earlier in the evening.
