Un Bellini, per favore
It must be 15 years or more since I last visited Venice - but I was devastated, as I imagine many other people are, to learn that Harry's Bar may well have to close, and certainly will no longer be run by the legendary Cipriani family. I never actually went in - I reckoned a glass of wine would probably have bankrupted me - but I did stand outside and thought of Hemingway, Welles, Capote and all the other famous names who had passed through those (fairly mundane) doors. I think, like so much of Venice, they've priced themselves out of the market, but it's sad to see such an icon going to the wall.
