My favorite Venice Taco spot, possibly b/c of it's proximity to our home, but also the "Street Tacos" 3 for $5.50 with chips can't be beat. Also the Casa Cookies if they have them are always great!

Sightseeing

Walking the Canals is always a must in my book. Only a block from our front door and you are wandering the maze like walkways and bridges of the Venice Canals.
