Palermo

I guess no replies in 24 hours means RS travelers are neither upscale nor chic! (I know I'm not!)

I'm not sure about upscale - chic areas, but when we were there last June we really enjoyed eating at Trattoria Al Ferro di Cavallo. I just stumbled across it, wandering around. They don't take reservations and people start lining up before they open for dinner. It's fairly popular with locals as well as tourists since it is in some guide books. It's not necessarily dress up chic, but definitely popular with younger crowd as well as everyone else.

I remember seeing a lot of good looking chicks walking along Via Maqueda all the way from the historical center to past the Teatro Politeama. I don’t know if they were upscale chicks.
