I agree you should go to Naples. For the purpose of doing the things around Naples, like Pompeii. I spent nearly a week in Pompeii, and have been there four times. I took my honeymoon in Sorrento. That area is absolutely amazing. Naples sucks.
If you fly into Newark International, you go into NYC. You don't hang out in Newark.
I didn't say do it all in a day. I said do half a day in Naples, see the Museo, eat pizza, do a half day in Herculaneum, do a full day or day and a half at Pompeii. You can hike Vesuvius if you want but I'd rather do any number of other things.
they have normal-ish stuff too.
FYI if they are serving the pig knuckle, go for it. It's a deep fried ham hock. It's fucking awesome.
Sausage sampler, some potato pancakes, some cucumber salad, and two liters of Spaten is the lunch of champions
I cannot stress enough how fantastic Cafe Mozart is. Homemade German food and German beer on tap.
Sausage, pork chops, multiple schnitzels, sauerbraten, sauer kraut, red cabbage, potato salad, apple strudel. I mean Jesus Christ
I guess what it really boils down for me is that there are so many AMAZING places to go in Italy. How does Naples even make that list? If there's stuff to do there (like the Museo) you can't do anywhere else? What is it?
It seems like the rough equivalent of being a European, coming to the United States to visit, and going to see Tulsa. Why?
1995, 1997, and 2004. Like I said I'm willing to give another try. I'm going to reach out for recommendations from you and others before I do because, again, I really hate Naples.
I disagree. Especially since if you are going to be there in December/January, that means most of Capri is shut down, and what is open through the Amalfi Coast will be limited. Naples actually has a lot to see and do no matter the time of year.

My only input here is that I would not spend the night in Naples if you can avoid it. Naples sucks. I would get there early in the day, spend three hours at the Museo Nazionale, eat some pizza and then go to Sorrento and use that as your base for Herculaneum (a half day max) and Pompeii (not quite full day). But you want to see the Museo in Naples, especially since they have moved a lot of the Pompeii artifacts there. When you go, make sure you see the Weary Herakles, aka the Farnese Hercules. It is awe-inspiring.
Also I would pick the Blue Grotto over the Tiberius Villa if you go to Capri but if you can do both go for it.
Chappelle thought it was so unfunny that he put it on his show and then also made a whole skit with Wayne Brady being blacker than fuck and then put that on his show too.
A joke so unfunny, he told it twice.
Both very good. Still, if I'm giving people a "must eat" list in DC who want to have fun and not go broke, my two favorites are Cafe Mozart and Rasika.
I'm rereading the book before watching this, but if you have any doubts about Timothee Chalamet (or Robert Pattinson) then do yourself a favor and watch The King. It is excellent and they are both very good.
