8.30pm: Dinner at Trip Advisor's #1 restaurant. Pleeease make reservation in advance. We were expecting less people because of the heavy rain but everyone else were as enthusiastic as us. I totally recommend this place as the prices are extremely reasonable (~8eur for a pizza). Go for their mussels & the lobster pasta (15eur)! You won't be disappointed..at least for the price you're paying. Packed with locals as well & conveniently located next to the subway.

17/10
10.15am: Duomo Cathedral. Bought tix in advance (there wasn't a queue when we reached but you never know) for a walk on the roof top - literally on the roof! Which was definitely not what I had expected. Rather fun as the rain meant less visitors which meant less crowded, but a little precarious because of the wet surface. We forgot about going into the main church though. Darn.
1.30pm: Viewed Leonardo da Vinci's famous mural painting "The Last Supper". A little surprised to find the Santa Maria delle Grazie a small unassuming church. The pre-booked tour (also highly advised, like 1-2 mths before) ended in exactly 15mins as stated. Apparently only 25 people can be in the room at any one time because the humidity affects the painting (which is falling apart). So yes, been there done that. Photo on the right is of a replica since no photo-taking in the room was allowed.
2.30pm: Dropped by an area called Garibaldi which is supposed to be the nightspot (hence the quietness in the day). Decided to come here on a Sunday only because of a store called "10 Corso Como" which I forgot how I chanced upon online. It turned out to be really rewarding! They carry limited but numerous high-end brands that are very carefully chosen by the store designers I must say. Best spot for window shopping. There's also a small section by Comme Des Garcons called "Black", an art gallery, and a garden-y cafe. A must-visit if you're in Milan.
