Tips for eating out locally
A few pointers make the experience smoother. Markets get busy in the evenings and on weekends, so go early if you prefer a relaxed table. Many places are within walking distance of the metro, so you can pair a stroll with your meal. For street food, choose busy, popular stalls where turnover is high. And if you would rather stay in one night, an on-site hotel restaurant is a comfortable fallback.
