A cheap lunch

Through the streets of Florence there are many places to find a quick bite to eat. A good, fast lunch is always a necessity, but it is important to find a place that will not hurt the wallet. Most paninos you would find on the street are about 5 euro and the paninos were made hours before you arrived to purchase it. One place that is a local hotspot, and has been for over a hundred years, is I Due Fratellini.  In via Cimatori, just a few blocks from both the Piazza della Signoria and the Piazza della Repubblica, I Due Fratellini has optimal location. In Florence since 1875, this panino palace is literally not much more than a hole in the wall. Just walk up, say the number of the panino you would like and sit along the streets and watch the other American tourists flock down the block to O Vesuvio to get a glimpse of the Jersey Shore. For only 2.50 euro, it’s hard to beat the quick service and fresh ingredients they have to offer. Don’t be discouraged by the long line out front, it goes rather quickly. Stop by just once and you’ll discover it will soon be your favorite place for a quick bite to eat.
Parole Utili: -Ventisette-the only thing you need to tell them to get a delicious panino of salami picante and goat cheese;  vino da asporto-for just one euro more you can get a solo cup of wine to take on the streets; un altro vino da asporto- - Just in case you need some fun in your life.
