Bar San Calisto

Piazza San Calisto 3-5

Although it is in the midst of Trastevere only few tourists seem to dare having coffe here, where local artists, nonni and nutbags have their after lunch coffee . Dirt-cheap but great coffee for 80cents.
Biscottificio Artigiano

Via della Luce 21

If you're into cookies you'll probably like this place: all sorts of tasty roman specialties for exellent value.

Sunday flea market

Area: Trastevere
Porta Portese

This Market at porta portese is huge and has all sorts of antiquities, junk, household items and all the jumbomumbo of a true roman market. beware of pickpockets. my girlfriend did not and found herself left without wallet... My mom's comment "well didn't you know that there is a saying: a porta portese ti portan via le spese" (at porta portese they take you away your shoppings)
