Wandering for Hidden Eateries
The best unassuming local eateries are discovered by walking neighborhoods, reading posted menus, and deciding to eat somewhere that catches your eye. Avoid restaurants with picture menus or aggressive touts. Local spots often have no signage—just a doorway opening to stairs leading up.
