The Center, North Side

The guide to Expo 2015 for design lovers. If we say SoHo, everyone thinks of a specific area of Manhattan (or London, if you are British). However, in New York City, SoHo stands for South of Houston Street. Here we are at Expo 2015; we are not as clever as in New York, so we have no SoDe (South of Decumanus). That said, if we organized names like in New York (NoLIta, North of Little Italy; NoMad, North of Madison Square Park, etc.), we would get SoDe. The south side of the matter. Piero Ciampi would have said: “[the roaring south](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F08NeU_97qY)”. This area was curated by the Social Media Team Expo 2015.

In our temporary city there are a hundred exotic restaurants, with all the foods possible (as well as others whose existence you could never have imagined). Having said this, sometimes it's okay to eat simply. If you're Italian, the restaurants Tracce (and Via Vai and Chicco Tosto and Let’s Toast and Aromatica) that you'll find in the wooden buildings (the service ribs, diagonals of the Decumanus), are perfect. If you're foreign, even better! A real Italian restaurant where you can eat well paying little. Among the multitude of restaurants / self-services along the service ribs,our favourite is Chicco Tosto behind the Vietnam Pavilion. A secluded position, with little tables facing onto the pool with its fountain. Generally peaceful and with few people around. For ten Euros you get a delicious mixed salad, a fruit salad, some sparkling water and a focaccetta bread roll. What else could we ask for? Here's the [link](http://www.expo2015.cir-food.it/en/site) to find all there is to know about the restaurants and bars at Expo 2015.
