Morgan Stanley today confirmed "a loss of $932 million on the planned disposition of Revel Entertainment Group, LLC," the failed Atlantic City casino a Morgan Stanley subsidiary tried to finance before the economy blew up in 2008. That's equal to six week's profits for the giant Wall Street investment and trading bank.
This and more in Morgan Stanley's profit statement here. Bloomberg tells a bit more about land acquisition and desperate last-ditch financing efforts here.
"It's a fact case. It's not a cutting-edge legal theory case," Drexel Law dean Roger J. Dennis tells me, of the Securities and Exchange Commission's civil fraud accusation against Goldman Sachs. The SEC says Goldman failed to warn a group of investors that it was selling them risky home-loan bonds selected by a short-seller who'd make money if the loans weren't paid. Case here, Goldman's denial of wrongdoing here.
Dennis adds: "The SEC is trying to make it a pretty straightforward conventional case, that you ought to accurately disclose conflicts of interest in your material docuemnts" to investors.
The SEC is not saying "anything systematic about the economic meltdown," even though the case does concern, at bottom, bad home loan bonds. "The essence is that Goldman was putting something together and lying about material fact."
Isn't it significant that the government is going after Goldman -- since the government usually goes after only small firms and rogue individuals, preferring to settle with Wall Street's powers? "To prove things beyond a reasonable doubt to a lay jury in a criminal case is a really high burden of proof," Dennis said. "The preponderance of evidence before a judge," in an SEC-style civil proceeding, "is a lot easier to do."
Former Main Line money manager and Villanova and Archbishop Carroll ballplayer Barry Bekkedam, who built his Ballamor Capital into a $2 billion-asset private-equity and securities firm with a national client list at its peak, has been named a defendant in an investors' civil lawsuit against confessed Florida fraudster Scott Rothstein. Inquirer story here. S. Florida Business Journal here.
Bekkedam, who left his Newtown Square family and moved to the Palm Beach area last year, has said his clients lost millions with Rothstein but denied wrongdoing; he said he was trying to help get their money back.
US Treasury, Federal Reserve and the Secret Service today rolled out a new $100 bill "with advanced technology to combat counterfeiting."
New security features: "the 3-D Security Ribbon and the Bell in the Inkwell." That means printed bells, which change in color "from copper to green when the note is tilted," which also makes the bells "appear and disappear within the copper inkwell."
Took 10 years to figure this out, says US Treasurer Rosie Rios in a statement. Retained from the old $100: the Ben Franklin watermark, and the color-shifting number 100. But Independence Hall has been turned around so you now see "the rear, rather than the front, of the building." Old bills still good.

Gold leaf, carved wood and marble, and stained glass line the three-story bank office at 123 South Broad Street, famously featured in the 1981 Eddie Murphy-Dan Ackroyd comedy "Trading Places" as a model of old-fashioned financial glamor.
But on the night of March 15, after Philadelphia police officers cordoned off the block so firefighters could stop a smoky, paper-and-plastic-fed electrical fire, it looked more like "Backdraft," the 1991 disaster drama, says landlord Jeffrey R. Seligsohn, whose SSH Management LLC runs the building and a dozen others along South Broad and nearby neighborhoods.
Firefighters broke panels from the stained-glass windows, products of the city's storied Nicola D'Ascenzio studios, to vent black smoke that stained the molded plaster and marble panels, three stories above the floor. "They were coming out of the smoke, completely blackened," Seligsohn said. "They were searching for people. They looked like heroes." No one was badly hurt. Seligsohn credited the quick city police and fire response and city emergency management chief MaryAnn Tierney for a quick decisive response.
Pennsylvania Auditor General Jack Wagner says Philadelphia School District finance director Michael Masch has ignored his requests for "detailed information regarding its use of swaps, including all costs, commissions, and other fees incurred from active and terminated swaps."
Wagner, who's running for governor, has been questioning towns' use of interest-rate swaps and other derivative securities sold by JPMorgan Chase & Co., Goldman Sachs, and other Wall Street firms to schools and school districts across the state under a law approved by Gov. Ed Rendell in his first term.
The swaps obliged clients like Philadelphia to trade interest-rate obligations with other investors - for example, fixed-rate interest payments from my bonds, for variable-rate interest off your bonds. The swaps purchased by Philadelphia schools and many other PA towns were supposed to protect them from higher borrowing costs, in case U.S. interest rates rose. But they have lately ended up costing towns millions, as interest rates hang near record lows.
This time, Wagner demanded the information by April 30, he told Masch, or "I will assume that the district is refusing to provide the requested information and we will proceed accordingly."
No immediate response from School District officials. As I wrote last December (here and here), Masch said the district's $1 billion-plus in swaps contracts "have worked as advertised, earning the schools a net '$12 million since 2004,'" and that the district believes swaps also made its debt "cost lots less than fixed-bond rates would have cost."
"Masch based his savings claim on the net $17 million in up-front cash that banks paid the school district when it first bought swaps in fiscal 2004, plus gains in 2006 and '07.
"But the gains reversed as interest rates fell. For the past two years, the city has had to pay the banks an average $8 million a year under terms of the swaps. Not much protection there.
"Still, Masch expects it's cheaper to wait for interest rates to rise, reducing what schools would owe, than follow Wagner's suggestion and pay to 'unwind' the swaps all at once," which would cost over $100 million, by his estimate.
What will Wagner do if the school district won't cooperate? "I'm not sure," he told me. "We have legal options. It's costly and it's time-consuming.
"We're not asking for a lot here. Simply another pair of eyes, looking at swaps. The (Delaware River Port Authority) lost $60 million in swaps. It has another $150 million at risk. We're finding virtually every public entity has some derivatives at risk with swaps.
"We are doing an audit of the Philadelphia School District. We are of the opinion some of these instruments are not done professionally. We are not placing blame on the local entity. Our concern is more at Wall Street. We know some municipalities can handle this. We hope that's the case with the Philadelphia School District. But we're not sure."
Pennsylvania Auditor General Jack Wagner says Philadelphia School District finance director Michael Masch has ignored his requests for "detailed information regarding its use of swaps, including all costs, commissions, and other fees incurred from active and terminated swaps."
Bancorp Bank, the Philadelphia- and Wilmington-based multi-niche deposit bank headed by Jefferson Bank founder and investment-dynasty matriarch Betsy Zubrow Cohen, says it's "terminated" plans to buy Chicago-based American Home Mortgage Holdings, Inc. and its American Home Bank unit "due to continuing delays in attempting to consummate this transaction." Reminds us of Metro Bank's cancelled Republic First deal, also scuttled due to regulatory failure to approve.
Instead, Bancorp wrote in its 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission last month, "we are currently pursuing the establishment of a de novo [that means brand new] Federal Savings Bank to be located in southern New Jersey, contiguous with our Philadelphia/ Wilmington area market.
"The pursuit of establishing that institution replaces the pursuit of the AHB acquisition," and will make "mortgage loans, various deposit accounts and other banking services."
Berkadia Commercial Mortgage, the former GMAC Commercial Mortgage of Horsham (bought last year by a partnership of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway and NY insurance turnaround specialist Leucadia Corp.) says it's set up a $16.25 million refinancing loan, by Long Island-based Bethpage Federal Credit Union, for the Whitman Plaza shopping center at Oregon and Randoloph in South Philadelphia.
Bethpage is charging a fixed 7% loan rate, amortizing over 30 years; fixed-rate for five years, adjustable for five more to 275 basis points (around 2.75%) over the Federal Home Loan Bank index. The previous loan was financed through a commercial mortgage-backed securitization. Berkadia's David Fishler arranged the new deal.
The 25-year-old, 279,000 sq ft shopping center, which includes a Kmart discount store (whose lease came up for renewal during talks), Pathmark grocery, Fashion Bug, Payless Shoes, Radio Shack, Party City, is still owned by a unit of builder Breslin Realty Development.

WAR RESISTERS SUPPORT CAMPAIGN www.resisters.ca 416-598-1222 MEDIA ADVISORY For Immediate Release Thursday, September 17, 2009 Private Member's Bill to be introduced in support of U.S. Iraq War resisters OTTAWA—On Thursday, September 17, Toronto Member of Parliament Gerard Kennedy (Parkdale— High Park), is expected to introduce a private Member's bill in the House of Commons that, if passed, would allow U.S. Iraq War resisters to stay in Canada. The war resisters are U.S. military personnel who have refused to participate in the illegal and immoral Iraq War. The bill, which will be seconded by Vancouver Member of Parliament Bill Siksay (Burnaby—Douglas), will make binding on the government the direction that Parliament has already given twice (on June 3, 2008 and March 30, 2009) by way of motions that resulted from studies of the issue by the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration (CIMM). "It is time that the current government of Canada reflected Canadians' desire to allow war resisters to stay and contribute to our country", said Gerard Kennedy, MP. "This law will simply compel them to do what they haven't had the good graces or the good sense to do on their own – and recognize the special circumstances that strike a chord with the majority of Canadians." "Canada's Parliament has already voted twice to allow these courageous men and women to stay," said Bill Siksay, MP. "Canadians have never supported the Iraq war. This bill reflects the significant support for Iraq War resisters that can be found in every part of our country." The introduction of this private Member's bill comes at a time when several U.S. Iraq War resisters are threatened with deportation. Two others, Robin Long and Cliff Cornell who both lived in British Columbia, have already been deported to the U.S. where they were court-martialed and jailed as prisoners of conscience for their opposition to the Iraq War. The felony-equivalent convictions given to Iraq War resisters who have been sent back to the U.S. by the Canadian government will result in life- long punishment such as the loss of the right to vote in many states and severely limited chances for employment. "We are hopeful that this bill will succeed in achieving what should have been done a long time ago," said Michelle Robidoux, spokesperson for the War Resisters Support Campaign. "Iraq War resisters have done the right thing, and Canadians have welcomed them with open arms. The Conservative government is out of step with the majority sentiment in this country, intent on imposing its own minority view. Canadians want to have their voices heard through this very important bill." A public opinion poll conducted by Angus Reid Strategies in June 2008 found widespread approval (64 per cent) for Parliament's initial vote directing the minority Harper government to immediately stop deporting Iraq War resisters and create a program to facilitate the resisters' requests for permanent resident status. -30- For further information, please contact: Michelle Robidoux, Spokesperson, War Resisters Support Campaign, 416-856-5008; or Ken Marciniec, Communications Volunteer, War Resister Support Campaign, 416-803-6066, firstname.lastname@example.com or Brett Thalmann, Legislative Assistant, Office of Gerard Kennedy, MP, 613-992-2936, 613-762-8542; or Office of Bill Siksay, MP, 613-996-5597.

Jessica Chastain refuses to date fellow actors because she is too worried about the attention she would attract as one half of an all-star couple.
The actress once stepped out with another celebrity, but Chastain was so fearful about the possibility of being photographed, she pledged never to have a famous boyfriend again.
RELATED: Most Beautiful Breakout Stars of 2012
She tells Britain's InStyle magazine, "I have a rule. No actors. I have dated an actor before, at Juilliard (acting school), but since then, I've only been on a couple of dates with one, and I was so freaked out someone was going to take a picture of us, because they were famous.""

Cannes 2012: 'Dictator' Star Sacha Baron Cohen Invades Historic Hotel
The entrance to the luxurious Carlton is decked out with floor-to-ceiling renderings of Baron Cohen's character Admiral General Aladeen.
CANNES -- He's back.
In 2006, Sacha Baron Cohen showed up at the Cannes Film Festival in a mankini to promote his comedy Borat, which went on to gross more than $260 million worldwide. The stunt made headlines around the world, underscoring how valuable Cannes can be in touting a film that's not even playing the festival.
PHOTOS: Cannes Film Festival Veterans Ready to Return to the Croisette
This year, Baron Cohen and Paramount are hoping to make just as much of a splash with The Dictator, which begins rolling out Wednesday around the world, including in North America.
To that end, Paramount has adorned the entrance of the famous Carlton Hotel with floor-to-ceiling renderings of Baron Cohen as The Dictator's Admiral General Aladeen, ruler of Wadiya. And on Wednesday, Baron Cohen will show up in character at the Carlton for a stunt and press conference.
The luxury hotel is always ground zero for studio promotions during the festival, with pedestrians crowding around to snap pictures of various billboards on the building's facade. The Dictator already was drawing plenty of interest Monday, even though the festival doesn't officially get underway until Wednesday night.
The Dictator reunites Baron Cohen with Borat and Bruno director Larry Charles. The R-rated comedy also stars Ben Kingsley and John C. Reilly.
Paramount is using the Carlton facade to plug two other films, G.I. Joe: Retaliation and the Tom Cruise pic One Shot, which is due out at Christmas. And on the Carlton pier, there's a huge billboard of DreamWorks Animation and Paramount's Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, which is playing in competition at the festival.

1. How will the Chiefs fix their quarterback problem?
Since a strong debut season with Kansas City (3,116 yards, 27 TD, 7 INT) in 2010 that saw the team reach the playoffs, Matt Cassel's play has dropped off significantly, as he's thrown just 16 touchdowns against 21 interceptions in a combined 18 games the past two seasons. Cassel struggles with decision-making under pressure, and with the potential for an entirely new front office and coaching staff this off-season, there is little obligation for the new regime to keep him on the roster in 2013.
The team could either choose to bring in a veteran to replace Cassel if the team is in "win now" mode, and there could be some potentially intriguing options available. If the team decides to look at someone through free agency, they could very well look at current Eagles quarterback Michael Vick. Vick has struggled to take care of the football the past two seasons, and his scrambling ability leaves him more vulnerable to injury than traditional pocket passers, but would provide the team with a talent upgrade at the position.
The team could also choose to draft a quarterback like West Virginia's Geno Smith in the first round, or sign a veteran place-holder (Matt Moore, Jason Campbell) if they were to select a quarterback like Syracuse's Ryan Nassib or Arkansas' Tyler Wilson on day two.
2. Who will replace Romeo Crennel?
After strong play following the dismissal of former head coach Todd Haley near the end of last season, former Browns head coach (and then defensive coordinator) Romeo Crennel had the "interim" label removed and given the reigns to the 2012 squad. Despite having a top-five running attack and a defense that didn't give up a lot of yards, Kansas City slumped to a dismal 2-14 record this season, and will now possess the #1 pick in this year's upcoming draft.
Crennel has a good defensive mind, but probably should have relinquished his defensive play-calling duties earlier in the season to focus on an offense that had a league-worst 35 turnovers. While there's no disputing that Crennel works hard and his players love him, he's had exactly one season where his team was over .500, and his 28-55 overall win-loss record dictates he probably is best suited to remain a defensive coordinator.
3. Are the Chiefs prepared to let Dwayne Bowe go?
While the team will also need to worry about re-signing left tackle Branden Albert and defensive end/tackle Glenn Dorsey, their priority should be retaining the services of the teams' leading receiver. The sides weren't able to work out a long-term extension this past offseason, so general manager Scott Pioli was forced to place the franchise tag on him.
Bowe is one of the more physical receivers in the game, and also provides the team with a vertical threat who can make big plays on 50/50 balls. The receiver still struggles with lapses in concentration, which leads to more drops than a player of Bowe's talent should have, but Kansas City's passing game is borderline anemic when he's not on the field.
Ultimately, the Chiefs could decide to franchise Bowe in hopes of working out a trade with another team looking for a receiver, as there's a reasonable chance that owner Clark Hunt decides to completely re-shuffle his football operations staff and enter into a fully committed rebuild.
4. Is Scott Pioli part of the problem?
Since taking over as general manager of the Chiefs following the conclusion of the 2008 season, Pioli teams have had a combined record of 23-41. After a promising 2010 season which saw the Chiefs win the AFC West with a 10-6 mark, Kansas City has won just 9 total games the past two season. When Pioli first arrived, he was generally regarded as the architect of the New England Patriots teams which won three Super Bowls in a four-year stretch.
Part of Pioli's problem has been his poor drafting, as his only draft which saw him acquire multiple useful players was 2010, where Pioli was able to nab safety Eric Berry (5th overall), running back/receiver Dexter McCluster, cornerback Javier Arenas and tight end Tony Moeaki. Some of his notable early-round whiffs include 2009 #3 overall pick Tyson Jackson (5 sacks in 59 career games) and 2011 1st rounder Jonathan Baldwin (41 receptions, 579 yards in 26 career games).
While Pioli's job is likely safer than Crennel's, their performance over the past two seasons and his sometimes hard-to-work-with personality could have his job in some peril.

We feel so fortunate to have been able to stay at Belmira's place for our wedding anniversary; it was the most amazing get-away and just perfect for re-couping balance and serenity between the larger cities we visited. Our hosts met us there, showed us the area and set us up in their beautiful, clean, well equipped and beach house with plenty of privacy. The never ending golden beach was fantastic and local hiking and views majestic, not to mention to the sunsets! Belmira gave us prompt and excellent recommendations for everything we were in need of before we got there and was available to us while we were there. This location is just far enough outside of Figueira da Foz for having your own space with nearby conveniences, but very close to getting anything you might need. We enjoyed making breakfasts and eating on the patio in addition to a nice dinner which we ate in the living room with a sunset view. We also used the washing machine to catch up on laundry. It felt like our home away from home. This was a stay we will never forget, not just for surpassing our expectations but for the incredible warmth and welcome we enjoyed from both our hosts and the locals. We will be back!! Susan and Monte Lindo Maravilhoso!

We went to Vestal NY for a funeral and had time to explore so we read about how there a 6 carousel all historical in the area. So even tho it was a rainy cold day we set out to find them. We got to two of them before they closed at 5. it was cool to see them and...
This was a genuine carousel for the late 1800s/early 1900s with the painted horses that move up and down. They provide a free 2 or 3 minute ride on request. I think they make if longer if there are more riders. It is on the grounds of the zoo. The zoo itself charges a entrance fee, but the carousel is...
if you ride all of the carousels in the area you get a button. A lot of fun and a great rememberence item. Maybe a little hokey, but good clean old fashioned fun.
One of the 6 carousels in the Carousel Circuit. Very nice park. Carousel is free to ride. Great place to take your family.
It is free and you can ride all day. Clean and well cared for. I love it. I grew up ridding it all summer and now I taake my grandchildren.
This is a traditional carousel that has been restored but still plays the traditional carousel music that my husband & I like. It is located in Recreation Park which has a bandstand, picnic tables, slides, swings, tennis court & ball field. Carousel rides are free.
This Christmas for 3 weekends they have opened up the carousel & are giving rides....
The carousels in our area are great (and free). Unfortunately they're only open during the summer months. The kids want to stay on over and over again. We usually just change horses when the music stops, for four or five rides.
The carousel is a real treasure in the park. My wife and I took a free ride and it was great. The carousel is beautifully restored and we learned that Binghamton is the "carousel capital of the world"
My son and I went there today to check out Recreation Park. He is not a big fan of riding the caresal but enjoyed watching. Listening to the original Wurlizter organ is a treat too. There is a pool, tennis courts, a former sand volleyball pit that can be used as a sand box, and typical playground equipment. Of course...
the carousel is great, the speed is medium some around town are much faster, i think this was plenty fast. there is a public pool play ground. lots of kids. and ice cream truck was there when we went!

Australia's Great Barrier Reef, its wonders and its battle for survival, are a star attraction of the world's latest internet sensation, Ocean in Google Earth.
Ribbon reefs
Researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies (CoECRS) are making a major contribution of science, information and underwater images to the site – launched globally today – which is designed to enable internet users worldwide to explore more fully the two thirds of the planet covered by water.
The GBR is one of a number of focal locations chosen by Google to highlight different aspects of the ocean. Others include the Galapagos, the Antarctic, the Gulf of Mexico, Hawaii, Bermuda, the West Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean.
'For each of these places they explain what's there, why it's unique, and how and why it's changing. It also highlights how humans both affect and depend upon the oceans,' says fish ecologist Professor David Bellwood of CoECRS and James Cook University. Prof Bellwood has been responsible for assembling the GBR content for the launch of the site
The Google team explain that their popular Google Earth site didn't dive below the surface of the oceans to give users a feel for the ecosystem that dominates the planet, so they teamed up with oceans advocate Dr Sylvia Earle, scientific institutions and other bodies around the world to get users excited about the oceans.
'As the largest group of coral reef experts in the world, the Centre of Excellence was invited to help populate the GBR section with information about the reef and human impacts on it. As part of our mission is to help people be more aware of the oceans and to understand how we humans affect them, we saw this as a marvellous opportunity,' Prof Bellwood says.
'We have provided data and images, and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority and others are also adding to it.'
Professor Bellwood says that one of the greatest issues facing humanity today is the lack of direct interactions between people and the natural environment, which means they cannot observe how the environment is changing and how much they affect it. 'The oceans are out of sight, and out of mind. Only fishers, scientists, tourism operators and the like really see what is happening, day to day.'
Reef - aerial
'Our hope is that, through the medium of the internet, millions of people – young people especially – will now be able to develop a better feel for what is happening to our oceans, and maybe will be inspired to visit them and see for themselves.'
Ocean in Google Earth is a feature of the most recent version of Google Earth and is available as a free download.
Professor Bellwood says that Ocean in Google Earth offers users a chance to visit different places on the GBR to sample the sorts of sea creatures and issues in each area and learn more about how the reef works. The information is presented initially in a very simple, easy-to-follow format which allows users to drill down deeper and understand some of the science behind the GBR and human effects on it.
Topics covered include acid oceans and coral bleaching, how reefs can be managed to give them the best chance of surviving global warming – as well as fascinating insights into the lives and habits of fish, sharks, seabirds, turtles, nudibranchs, octopuses, corals and other reef lifeforms.
'The GBR attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world every year. Thanks to Google Earth it will now receive millions more virtual visitors – many of whom will hopefully decide it is well worth a real visit. It is superb promotion for our greatest natural wonder.'
Parrot fish
The new tool also allows us to present coral reef science in a clear and easily understood way that everyone will enjoy exploring. As scientists who love the fish and corals of the reef, we are delighted that this new site allows us to introduce a wider public to the things which fascinate us, and to share our understanding of them with people around the world,' he says.
More information about Ocean in Google Earth can be found at www.earth.google.com/ocean

What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
Currently a full-time student studying to become a Law Clerk at Fanshawe College! In my spare time, I'm almost always stuck to a friend's side, vegging out on my computer or doodling. Passionate about video games and world culture/history; it's not a rare occurence for me to spend an afternoon tabbing back and forth between a Wikipedia article on the Parthenon and a match of Civilization. :)
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
Cooking, cleaning, napping and making the most of my free time are all my forté. I'll also kick your ass at a match of any game of your choosing (what? competetive? nawwww) and wouldn't be adverse to a bit of post-game consolation cuddling. Also I can type really fast.
The first things people usually notice about me

I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
Everything. I love researching and learning new things about almost anything that piques my interest, and I spend unhealthy amounts of my life browsing through Wikipedia Articles and google searches on totally nonsensical and disorganized topics. Call it obsession.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Out having a drink or lying low at a friend's place, or lazing about my bedroom with a cup of tea and a pillow.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I'm GAY.
Seriously though, I've got a thing for guys with long hair and freckles.
I'll think of more stuff to put here later when I've crawled back out of my shell.

Vox: Great happy hour!
Happy hour can be enjoyed at many of the bars around Bergamo. Vox is located on Via Papa Giovanni XXIII and, therefore, is enjoyed by many of the hotel guests from the hotels located on that road; it is located next door to the Mercure Palazzo Dolci.
We called in on a couple of evenings to enjoy an early drink during Happy Hour (usually lasting from 17:30 to around 19:30). In Bergamo, Happy Hour means that your drinks arrive with a selection of snacks and nibbles which can vary in amount, quality and nature.
In VOX, Happy Hour consists of a full buffet which is spread along the bar and counter spaces, and is regularly replenished when plates and bowls get close to empty.
We ordered our drinks (a draught beer and Aperol Spritz), paying €5.00 each (€6 on Sunday) and soon discovered that this then allowed us to enjoy as much of the buffet as we desired - what a great way to have a cheap evening 'meal'! During our visits we enjoyed bruschetta, potato, crisps, cold meats, olives, salads, dips, slim pizza slices, etc. - all of which were delicious.
The bar also has a restaurant on the upper level to the rear.
Dress Code: Casual - we were there at the end of a day of walking around Bergamo whilst others had clearly finished work for the day.

The Ritual: Popular Irish Victorian Bar
Well it took us a while to find this place open, during our visits to Bergamo when planning our big Eurmeet in 2012.
We finally found it open on the last night of our meet, when an international gang were in need of a night cap or two.
located on a side street off the Main Street Papa Giovanni, this is a Victorian, Irish Pub, with great atmosphere and Guinness!
We recently visited it twice during a recent weekend break in Bergamo and it was quite crowded both nights
To be continued.....
Dress Code: Mainly populated by students at our latest visits - casual attire, but with Italian styling!

Pub 212 Barcode: Late night bar -
UPDATE - not sure if this bar is still here or not - have visited Bergamo a few times since, and although not looking for this place, haven't noticed it - will do some research!
After enjoying our meal at Albergo Piemontese, we decided to find somewhere to enjoy a drink, before heading back to our hotel.
Patsy spotted a likely place, and so we headed over to this trendy looking bar located in the old archways. We were escorted up a flight of stairs and shown to cafeteria style seats in a mezzanine level overlooking the bar.
It was mainly a young trendy crowd, that were seated in this area, and I hate to admit it, but the music was a bit too loud, and not really my type of music, so chatting was a bit difficult.
We perused the list of cocktails. I chose a prosecco and strawberry drink (pic 3), the others chose champagne cocktails, while Debs went for her favourite Jack Daniels.
While we waited for our drinks we indulged in a bit of people watching, and down stairs, we could see our drinks being made at the bar.
No smoking inside, so it's a walk downstairs and outside.
This bar has many levels, with rooms off the staircase. On the way to find the toilets, I managed to find the kitchens, and a lift to the VIP lounge!
The toilets are worth a visit!
Dress Code: Smart casual. Jeans allowed. Bergamos young and trendy head here apparently.

Tucans: Irish pub in Citta Alta
UPDATE - June 2012, this pub is no longer here ;-(. However, there is a Tucan bar near to the funicular stop, still Irish themed, where we enjoyed a few bevvies during Eurmeet 2012 - The Guinness is still good! Not sure if this is the same owners etc relocated.
I'll make a new tip on this place as soon as I can.
I'd passed by this popular and cosy looking bar a few times during my previous visit, but as I was by myself, I found a quieter bar for a drink.
I was quite pleased that on my 2nd visit to Bergamo, with 'The Girlz', after our meal, we decided to call in here for 'a night-cap'. Well that was our intention-1 drink, then catch the funicular and back to the hotel -It had been a long day for us.
Hmmmmm! who were the last ones in the place? Yes, the funicular had stopped running long before we left in the early hours.
Quite a few people have questioned why if we were in Italy we had to go to an Irish bar? Well surprisingly, there were many locals in here - it has character, and the Guinness was good.
Yes, there's Guinness memorabilia on the walls etc, and in the window display, but I didn't hear any twee 'Oirish Drinking songs'
The bar is quite small, with dark wood floors and furnishings. Small raised tables with stools and a raised platform area with more seating and tables.
No smoking inside - smoking outside on the street.
We ordered pints of Guinness and settled down for a natter and laugh, when we were joined by a group of Norwegian men, who were staying at the same hotel as us.
We had a great night/early morning in here!
Dress Code: Casual- smart casual.

Bar Flora (at night): Great location!
My first visit to Bar Flora was with VT friends Antonio, Elena, Isa and Manuel – though it was not to be my last! We came here for drinks on the Friday evening after dinner in Bassa, as we were the small group staying up in Alta and decided to drink "close to home". The bar's location, in one corner of the beautiful Piazza Vecchia, was just perfect. We all found our preferred beverage on the menu (I had an excellent grappa – others drank beer, whisky, tea, limoncello and mojito). There was music and activity in the piazza, as part of the national holiday celebrations, and the evening was pleasantly warm. A super end to the last full day of the meeting.
On later occasions I came here several times for pre-dinner drinks with Chris, and with VTers, and each time was happy with the drinks I chose, the service and especially the location. Given the latter, prices are reasonable here – it is not one of those places where you are charged double for the privilege of sitting in the main square!
This was one of two bars that became favourites during my short stay in Bergamo – my next tip will take us to the other, Ca del Fasa
Ca del Fasa: A welcoming bar
Chris and I discovered this cosy little bar after dinner on the Saturday evening of the VT weekend, and proceeded to visit it on all three of our evenings together here! It's perfect for an after-dinner digestif (or two!) There are only a few tables, with a couple strategically placed by the window so you can combine drinking with people-watching. The prices are reasonable and the staff friendly, and there's a mixed clientele – couples of various ages, a single guy or two drinking beer at the bar and chatting to the staff, maybe a small group of friends. It isn't large enough, and doesn't have the right atmosphere, to attract large groups or rowdy drinkers – which suited us fine.
They also serve food but I didn't check out the menu as we only ever came after dinner. They also appear to have occasional live music, judging by what I found when I did a Google search. I can only imagine that this must be in a back room as it seemed too small for that to me on our visits.
So after our exploration of Alta's "nightlife" let us continue our explorations by visiting the sights that we saw on the Sunday, starting with the Campanone.
The Ritual Bar: Another great Irish!
There's one in every town! An Irish pub, that is. And this is Bergamo's offering - and a great offering it is, too.
During our research trips to Bergamo, we had struggled to ever find the place open, but when it came to the crunch - it was open! We had a lovely end of evening here on the Sunday of EurMeet, catching up with friends and generally chatting, putting the world to right!
This public house offers a great selection of beers and whiskeys as well as a generously stocked 'top shelf'.
Monday : 19:00 - 02:00
Tuesday to Friday : 12:00 - 02:00
Saturday and Sunday : 16:00 - 02:00

Varadero Jazz Cafe: Strangely eclectic!
In March 2012 we walked past this bar during the day on Saturday before returning to it on Tuesday for a drink just before Happy Hour.
In June 2012, we returned during the evening on the Friday of EurMeet. Whilst it refers to itself as a jazz cafe, our evening visit found us presented with a selection of music, none of which was jazz! However, the service was good and prices reasonable.
The bar has indoor seating at the front and rear (with a mezzanine in the rear) as well as outdoor seating.
Dress Code: None observed.

Caffe della Funicolare: Good Beer, Good Atmosphere and GREAT View
This is a rather stylish Art Deco cafe/bar at the funicular's top station and so ideal for a swift beer whilst waiting for your train - or a slow couple until a car arrives at a time which matches your drinking pace ;-HIC!
In my case it was time for a swift couple and then catch the last train of the night - which I was told would be at midnight.
When I first walked in the place looked deserted apart from a couple of people ordering drinks at the bar but there was a certain tangible atmosphere - just without any obvious crowd to have created it.
So I ordered my beer (another little piece of transplanted Brussels) and then realised upon looking out through the patio doors that the terrace, on a warm early June late evening, was absolutely heaving. Every table was taken with drinkers and diners and no wonder given the night-time view over the lower city.
My couple of beers went down extremely well - a bit pricey but yep this is Citta Alta and a bar with probably one of the best views in Italy. I never did catch that last funicular though - but that's another story.

La Birreria: Brussels in Bergamo!!
Unfortunately it was a very quiet night on the Sunday we dropped by here for a late after dinner beer. The bar was characterful enough, service smilingly helpful but with only a few other tables occupied it was a bit lacking in atmosphere.
I should imagine though that when it is busy it rocks and I was particularly impressed with the range of beers on offer - 7 taps and almost 50 bottles with most of them being Belgian including several Trappistes.
I noticed what looked like a Scotish beer amongst the bottled selection - Gordon's "Finest Red" which turned out to be yet another Belgian import but none the worse for that - I loved the thistle-shaped glass too.
Maybe next time I'll catch it on a busier night.

Bar Flora: Another Proper Pub!!
During the day this is a popular cafe/bar with its popular terrace overlooking the Piazza Vecchia. Later in the evening though it becomes much more pubby and on a warm evening the terrace becomes an outdoor drinking den with a good local buzz from both the other customers and from the square in general.
I had one late evening beer here on my way back to the funicular and then dropped by the following afternoon for a couple more before our Sunday dinner which was held across the road at Il Sole.
If I remember correctly beers were a tad on the expensive side - 5 Euros for a small one - but it is a great position - on what has been described as "One of Italy's most beautiful squares.", and Alta is generally more expensive than Bassa anyway.

Papageno Pub di Miccoli Alberto: A Proper Pub!!
Whilst in Citta Bassa proper pubs are a bit thin on the ground - most bars are those of cafes and tend to shut relatively early - up in Citta Alta there is a handful of cracking little bars clustered around the main drag from the funicular to Piazza Mascheroni.
Pub Alberto is a characterful little one-room affair, at the start of Via Colleoni, offering an eclectic range of beers - six on tap, plus bottles - which has a proper drinking den atmosphere. Staff are friendly and seem to know what they are selling and on a warm late evening in June the prime position was at one of the window tables. With the windows open you get the best of both worlds by being able to absorb the pub atmosphere and simultaneously take part in the buzzy street life passing by.

Bergamo Avvenimenti: How To Find Out What's Happening
During the course of our weekend here I noticed various happenings around both upper and lower Bergamo. We, of course, had a pretty full schedule of our own happenings but should I ever return the first thing I'd do is pick up a copy the local listings magazine - "Bergamo Avvenimenti".
This seems to be a monthly publication produced on behalf of the Provincial and City tourist offices and has a daily diary of all the main events in the city and the region - music, theatre, exhibitions etc. It also has some featured events and a little section of selected "things to do". This is a freebie and copies can be obtained from the tourist offices, hotels and B&B's and I noticed copies in a couple of the bars too.

Mister Michetta: Took A Bit Of Finding!
I was kinda surprised to find that most of the popular bars and cafes seem to close quite early in Citta Bassa - I've since heard a rumour that late licences are difficult to get due to pressure from the church.
On the Friday evening a small splinter group of us - myself, Gareth, Vicky and Alison, were sitting having a beer outside one of the cafes on the main road just up from the Porta Nuova. I'm not sure exactly what time it was, but it wasn't that late, but when we tried to order a second round of beers we were told that the place was shutting. Hmmm...
Fortunately Gareth and Vicky had found a late bar the night before which was close to their hotel and so off we trekked. This turned out to be a quiet little place with only a couple of other tables occupied but at least it was open, the beer was relatively cheap, service pleasant enough and so a few more were enjoyed before we bade each other goodnight and headed our separate ways.

Caffè Falconi: Wine, Whisky and .....
Caffe Falconi was one of those 'Happy Finds' Handily located between our accommodation and Porta Nuova!
Our first visit co-incided with 'Happy Hour'. I ordered an Aperol Spritz and Gilly opted for a glass of Valcolepia Rosso - a locally produced wine, which Gilly decided was the best that she'd tasted -so far! This cost 9.50 Euros for our 2 drinks
Our 'Happy Hour' nibbles included salted peanuts, crisps, pretzels, bread and thin slices of cold meat (pic 2)
We noticed that there was a selection of plates containing some interesting looking appetisers, but weren't sure if we were entitled to sample these!
Seating outside - a couple of small tables and chairs on the pavement, while the main bar is lined with dark wood shelves containing a vast array of wine bottles (the bar is also a wine shop) and a small selection of preserved foods. Dark wood tables and chairs, provide a comfortable place to relax over a drink and 'people watch'
At the back of the bar, past the 'hidden' WC's, is another room, with seating for about 20 people - this is quite basic. Outside, is a further 'room' a glass box - not sure if this was a smoking area.
The clientele here, were of a 'mature age' (as were the staff)- The Velvet Pub opposite appeared to cater for the younger crowd, with music/karaoke etc.
This felt like an 'established business' where people visit to enjoy a good drink and a chat - no loud music drowning out conversation.
While there is a wide selection of wines -and whisky/spirits, there is only one draught beer pump here.
We returned here on the Sunday night for a nightcap - a glass each of Valcolepio!
We'll Be Back ..........!
Dress Code: Smart Casual appeared to be the norm - Guess there may be a smattering of VT attire the first weekend of June 2012!
