In the late summer, some of Rome’s nightlife moves to the beach, while other bars, restaurants, and cafes take up residence on the banks of the Tiber River. There’s a breeze down there - even when one can’t be found elsewhere in the Eterna - and so the Romans take themselves riverside for dining, drinking, and even a bit of dancing.
Those looking for a healthier version of nightlife along the river will find themselves in luck because there’s at least one brilliantly illuminated stand selling already cut up fresh fruit. You can order a bowl of peaches, cherries, bananas, plums, nectarines, cantaloupe, or apricots. Or, if the mood strikes you, you might consider ordering a watermelon (cocomero in Roman dialect, anguria in the rest of Italy) carved to look like the Colosseum! Buon appetito!
