00:00It really doesn't matter how early I get to a train station. I always manage to somehow be running for the train
00:06But we're here
00:08Like 45 minutes early. Yeah, so early that we haven't been assigned a platform yet. So hopefully we won't mess this up
00:16Stay tuned. See you on the train soon
00:18I'm Garrett and I'm out exploring with my wife Lauren and after our perfect day in Venice full of sights and bites
00:24We are headed to our next stop on our Italian holiday Florence on this high-speed train
00:41I think we're taking more than our fair share of overhead bin space. I don't think all of these other passengers will mind
00:46I think we're gonna be on this for two hours and then we'll be in Florence
00:54Oh
01:11We just got off our train here in Florence. We're in the city center
01:16We have about a 10-minute walk to our Milu hotel, so we are headed that way now
01:21Lauren is ahead of me with her luggage
01:24The coolest hotel
01:30It's like modern art
01:32It's like modern art
01:34This is our room
01:36It's adorable
01:38Cozy, but modern
01:41Great bathroom
01:43With
01:45Bowl
01:46Shower
01:48Overhead range shower head
01:50Towel warmer
01:52Then
01:54The best part
01:56Paris
01:58Paris
02:00How freaking cute
02:02How freaking cute
02:04His face
02:06His face
02:08It's kind of cool
02:10It's cool
02:12It's cool
02:13Like when you go between floors
02:14It's like oh
02:16Next floor is different than the one above it
02:17Oh you want to see something else
02:18Here's another floor
02:20It's very modern and risky
02:22Risky
02:23It's like an art museum
02:24It's supposed to be an art museum
02:25It's supposed to be an art museum
02:26Like an art museum slash hotel
02:27Wow
02:28So we're all checked into our hotel
02:30We're going to go search for some food
02:32So we're going to head to the central market
02:34Because that half a ham sandwich
02:36And that smoothie bowl I ate earlier today
02:38Did not hold me over
02:39So we're going to go explore
02:40Probably grab some food
02:41Maybe an aperitivo
02:42And then enjoy the evening
02:44We just got inside of Il Mercado Central
03:02Or the central market of Florence
03:04And there's a whole bunch of food stands
03:06We're going to make some laps
03:08Scoop everything out
03:09And try to find this thing
03:10Super tasty
03:11To eat
03:12Oh, sorry
03:13They got a map
03:15Can't miss anything
03:17What's the whole squid?
03:19Want the whole squid?
03:20Would you eat it?
03:21No
03:22I would eat it
03:23It looks nice
03:24Oh, they're just looking at that
03:25They're out samples
03:30Chicken fresh off the grill
03:33Pasta
03:35Pizza
03:37Ginato
03:39Canolis
03:41Antony
03:43Salmon caviar
03:45Chicken liver pate
03:48Smoked salmon
03:50Pizza
03:51Pizza
03:52Pizza
03:53I seriously don't know how anyone ever picks anything to eat at this place
03:57Italian dumplings?
04:00We got the meat
04:02Pizza
04:03All the arancini
04:04All the arancini
04:06The croces
04:07Caminis
04:08More pizza
04:12Is that cauliflower?
04:13No, we got some caprese
04:15And
04:16Uh-uh
04:17You're not going to do it justice
04:18Alright, we just got this huge
04:20We're putting an antipasti plate
04:21For 10 euro
04:23We have salami
04:25Caprese
04:26Which they drizzle the olive oil and the salt and pepper on right as we ordered it
04:30It's a hard boiled egg
04:31And then three little crostinis
04:33We have one that is artichoke and olive oil
04:35This one that's like a classic tomato red sauce
04:38And then an anchovy and mushroom
04:41Um
04:42Cheese
04:43I'm so excited to eat this
04:44It's so good
04:45This might be my version of heaven
04:48This market
04:50I could just live here
04:53That would be
04:54Alright, so we got a second snack
04:56And then we're gonna go walk around
04:58And before we get dinner
04:59But
05:00We got this
05:01The kosha bread
05:02Which is basically
05:03It's a piece of bread
05:04But it's like crispier
05:05And it has some olive oil
05:06And this one has tomatoes in it
05:08As you can see here
05:10This was only 150 euro
05:12Which is awesome
05:13And I'm super excited to try this
05:15And then this beauty
05:18Lauren Ida
05:19There's this like pizza place over there
05:21And they have like thin crust pizza
05:23Which is like looks like to die for
05:25And it has this tomato sauce with some cheese
05:28And then this stuff right here
05:29Is like an olive paste
05:31With some sprinkles of basil
05:32So
05:33This was a 2 euro
05:35So we're really excited to try it
05:37Anyways
05:38Bon appetit
05:40That is amazing
05:42So it's like really airy
05:43And light
05:44But crispy at the same time
05:45And then
05:46Yeah I'm not a big fan of olives
05:47But that little olive paste
05:48Adds just a little bit of olive flavor
05:50Which really balances all out
05:51So
05:52Very well rounded
05:53Alright
05:54We're letting our appetizers digest
05:56So we are gonna go walk through this leather market
05:58And then we're probably gonna go back in
06:00And get some dinner
06:01And drink
06:02And then just enjoy the evening
06:03So
06:04Let's take a stroll
06:05Okay
06:06So right outside of the central market
06:18The outside portion is called the San Lorenzo market
06:20It's known for having souvenirs
06:23Specifically leather goods
06:25So a lot of people will try to sell their bags
06:27Jackets
06:28Belts
06:29Garrett says he likes the belt that he sees on
06:31I say there's always room for more
06:33I've been told you need to hit the Google
06:3540 years?
06:3640 years of experience
06:3740 years of experience
06:3840 years of experience
06:39So it's a good place to shop
06:40If you're looking for something authentic
06:42It is a life
06:43For life
06:44Yeah
06:45No
06:46And then mine
06:47Is a metal
06:48Real metal
06:49Yeah
06:50It never breaks
06:51And lasts for many years
06:52Yeah
06:53Okay
06:54Alright
06:55We're gonna look around
06:56Yeah
06:57I made a purchase
06:58From my man Michelangelo
07:00I don't think that's his real name
07:02He said it to me
07:03I'm pretty sure
07:04He said it to me
07:05I'm happy
07:07Garrett's less happy
07:09Because I bought a bag
07:11And a wallet for my brother
07:14Real authentic
07:17Italian leather
07:18And now I'm ready to get a spritz
07:20And some pasta
07:22She got a bag and a wallet
07:24And it was good
07:25It was just
07:26You know
07:27A little expensive
07:28From outside
07:29Cheers
07:30Cheers
07:31Time to celebrate my purchase
07:32With a spritz
07:36For our preemie
07:37For our first course
07:38You have a
07:39To eat buffet
07:40Or a pasta
07:41With cheese and pepper
07:42My dinner tonight
07:44I did not go
07:45Traditional
07:46Italian I guess
07:47But I got chicken breast
07:48With the salad
07:49And then some nice potatoes
07:51Which looks really good
07:52I did a lap around the whole place
07:54And we had some appetizers
07:56Or some aperitivo
07:57You know
07:58A little draped
07:59But I decided with some meat
08:01And potatoes
08:02To keep it simple
08:03And I will eat plenty of pizza
08:04And pasta
08:09It's basically dangerous
08:10To be able to get
08:11Whatever you want
08:12For like
08:13Less than 3 euro
08:14Cause I just keep being like
08:15Okay one more
08:16One more
08:17But
08:18I think the cannoli
08:19Will be the final
08:20Final course
08:21I've been thinking about these
08:22For a really long time
08:23Ever since we decided
08:24To come to Italy
08:25And I am extremely excited
08:26To have my first one of the trip
08:28Okay
08:29I've taken a bite
08:30Of my cannoli
08:31And I had a pleasant surprise
08:32So
08:33I didn't even think about it
08:34But I picked it up
08:35From a gelato shop
08:36And it's actually a cannoli
08:37That's filled with gelato
08:38Instead of like
08:39The traditional
08:40Creamy center
08:41It's like
08:42A chocolate chip gelato
08:43And it's fantastic
08:47This is my version
08:48Of some dessert
08:49I got some
08:50I think it's like
08:51Orange
08:52Apple
08:53Carrots
08:54And ginger juice
08:55Tastes like
08:56Orange juice
08:57And apple juice mixed
08:58All right
09:03We're finally leaving
09:04We got a full belly
09:06And now we're going to
09:07Head back to the hotel
09:08Get some shut eye
