His name is Gianni Basso and his Stampatore (still open) is in the Cannaregio neighborhood of Venice. He remains one of the loveliest and most welcoming people I’ve had the pleasure of shooting a segment with. I still have the cards he made me and won’t use them. They’re too perfect.

Join Kevin and me tonight LIVE at 9:00 PM ET on Facebook and YouTube for our New Orleans Watch Party! I’ve been to New Orleans countless times, and I love that with this episode we focused on what to do AWAY from Bourbon Street and the French Quarter. We’ll be sharing all sorts of tidbits from behind the scenes (including an accidental, very long bike ride!) and talking more about Season 9. See you tonight! Comment WPNewOrleans to RSVP on Facebook. Our featured drink will be The Sazerac: – 2.5 oz rye – sugar cube (or .25 oz simple syrup) – 4 dashes Peychaud’s bitters – Absinthe (for rinsing glass) In mixing glass muddle a sugar cube and bitters. Add a few drops of water to help dissolve sugar (just add syrup here if using instead of sugar cube). Add rye, ice and stir until completely chilled. In a pre-frozen or chilled rocks glass add a bit of absinthe and coat the glass, then pour out the rest. Strain the cocktail into glass and serve with lemon peel. #samanthabrown #placestolove #explorelouisiana #louisiana #neworleans @explore.louisiana
