Unusual Things

Unusual places to see in Venice?

I've been to Venice lots of times (love it!) and am going again in March. Can anyone recommend any 'off the beaten track', unusual or little-known places or buildings that might be of interest, something different that I might not have seen yet? Thanks!

1. The city sewer tour is always a treat
2. if you cross the grand canal directly in front of the train station there is a small piazza. there is a very strange looking manhole cover in the middle of it. totally worth the trip just to see it............i think
3. Ghetto, S. Maria dei Miracoli, Isola di S. Giorgio Maggiore, Murano, Burano, Torcello, Chioggia.
4. Have you seen the vegtable barge & gondola shop in the Dorsoduro?
5. go to the FISH MARKET which onli opens at wednesday at GONDOLA... its very extraordinary ..
6. If you have not toured the Phoenix Theatre (Teatro la Fenice), it is definitely worth a visit: http://www.teatrolafenice.it/ Truly mind-boggling. Also, if you have not taken a boat to the town of Burano, known for its lace, you should definitely go. Very charming, and the food is great (try the soft-shelled crabs - moeche).
