36 Hours in Bologna, Italy: Things to Do and See (Gift Article) While Emilia-Romagna’s capital still thrives on traditions like tagliatelle al ragù and mortadella, new openings are taking the city in refreshing directions.

Travel articles usually take about a month to write & edit. This might be my record: I got back home late on a Sunday; 10 days + 5 hours later, “36 Hours in Bologna, Italy” went live on @nytimes.com.
Great food, beer (Ca’ del Brado!) art & more.

The Czech word for lower back pain or lumbago is hexenšus, which is borrowed from a German word, Hexenschuss.
The first time I heard it I was like, “Oh, like a witch just shot you in the back? That’s what you think happened?”
Dear reader, at one point, that’s exactly what they thought.
