Have an Italian Espresso

No milk, no whipped cream, no foam, no nutmeg or pistachio froth, just coffee, in its most concentrated form. Italians don't savor this, they shot-it like an injection of energy. Cafes for espresso will often be standing-only, because you're not supposed to linger - take your burst of energy and move on. This also helps with all the hand gestures you need to communicate in Italy. ;)
