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. All photos by Beatrice Bianchetti and Anna Chiara Maggiolini.
The only pre-existing building on the exhibition site.
This is one of our favorite places. Davide Oldani is a leading chef and businessman. Often on TV and in the papers. Coming across him in his kiosk (and not in a traditional restaurant), surprised us not a little. We know who Oldani is, but we’d never eaten in his restaurant [D’O](http://www.tripadvisor.it/Restaurant_Review-g608896-d1008013-Reviews-Ristorante_d_O-Cornaredo_Province_of_Milan_Lombardy.html) in Cornaredo. Intrigued, we gave it a try. What else is there to say? Everything was perfect. The three types of rice, cooked under our eyes, the delicious Stracciatella, the ice cream, they too were wonderful. Cost? Affordable and accessible. In short, we rather took a shine to this little kiosk. The food is great, the price very pop, the staff kind and friendly and explaining everything patiently, [Pop Food](http://www.lafeltrinelli.it/libri/davide-oldani/pop-food/9788807491863) (the book that explains Oldani-thinking) is crystal clear and eminently readable. There is also a series of social channels (and a website) well looked after, and lastly, the lady by the name of Silvia who runs it all is also spot-on in her role. We had never been to a Michelin-starred restaurant. We gave it a try and we loved it. If you multiply our experience by so many million visitors, you'll understand why our Oldani as well as being a great chef is also a fantastic businessman...
