The Grand Canal Shoppes have always been a destination, with numerous stores like Banana Republic, Burberry, Fendi and Coach, plus specialty shops like Horologico Fine Watches and It’sugar. Italian restaurants like Mercato della Pescheria and Sixth & Mill are ready to serve, and Cut by Wolfgang Puck, Smith & Wollensky and Buddy’ Vs Ristorante offer upscale dining choices. Tucked away in lovely canal side shop is Le Macaron, with tasty tidbits in unusual flavors, plus gelato. Gondolas gliding through the canals add an amazing bit of charm.
