7 Places in Florence to Get Your "American Fix"

Studying abroad is all about getting out of your comfort zone. Although it's fun trying different foods, sometimes we miss our favorite foods from home. Here are a few places in Florence, Italy to satisfy your American cravings.

1. Red Garter

This place is known for their karaoke, but most people don’t they have great American food. Inside looks like a typical sports bar with tons of TVs & decorations everywhere. They serve hotdogs, burgers, and more.

Plus they split the checks and don't make you pay for water! What a relief!

My recommendation is to try their homemade milkshakes, they're out of this world.

2. Le Vespe

If you love American/Canadian breakfast, this place is for you. Anything you can think of, pancakes, bagels, omletters, they have it. They’re known for their smoothies as well. Plus you don’t have to pay for water 😉
