Pick a focus—cinnamon buns, single-origin espresso, or plant-based street snacks—then let curiosity choose turns. What theme will you try first? Comment your idea, and we’ll suggest a starter itinerary.

Alternate sweet with savory, sit-down with stand-up, coffee with water. Pack napkins, note allergies, and find benches with sun or shade. Share your pacing tips to help newcomers enjoy every stop.
