1. Harry’s Bar from Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh

In his novel, Waugh waxes poetic about “hot cheese sandwiches and champagne cocktails at Harry’s bar,” but what the real-life Venice-based Harry’s Bar is actually known for are Carpaccio (thinly sliced raw meat) and the Bellini (Prosecco and peach cocktail). The bar has been open since 1931 and was declared a national landmark by the Italian Ministry for Cultural Affairs in 2001.

Conducting your own international Brideshead Revisited tour not really in your budget? Don’t worry: The Cipriani family, owners and operators of Harry’s, are also behind no less than five New York City venues, so you can pretend to be Lord Marchmain without ever leaving Manhattan.
