Food Sightseeing

So when I'm in a new city, one thing I fucking love is when I have a guidebook that gives an itinerary along the lines of "If you just want really good food all day, here's a map of where to go."

I'd like to see what Veeky Forums can come up with. So if you had one day in your city, where would you go?

>City
Cork, Ireland

>Breakfast
Head to Orso, on Pembroke st (orso.ie), the breakfast manoushi is fantastic

For a cup of coffee mid-morning, head over to Filter, on Sullivan's Quay. Get a filter coffee and sit on the bench outside if it's sunny.

>Lunch
Got to be Nash 19 (usually just known as Nash's - nash19.com). Get there early, as the offices on South Mall tend to empty into it.

>Post-lunch snack
Head into the English Market (big covered victorian food market) and take your pick, it's pretty god-tier for snacking. Pic related is part of it.

>Dinner
If you want to stay in the city centre, this is great: elbowlane.ie. If you can't get in, just go next door to Market Lane (marketlane.ie) it's owned by the same people, and the food is great.

If you're willing to venture further afield, Ballymaloe is pretty much Mecca for food in Ireland. The grounds are amazing in the sunshine- if you want to impress a gril, here's the place the take her. It's fucking expensive, but totally worth it: ballymaloe.ie

>Post-dinner drinks
On the assumption you stayed in the city centre, head to the Franciscan Well (franciscanwellbrewery.com) and sit outside with some of their beers (and a pizza from the woodfire oven if you're still hungry). Alternatively, head to the Oval (corkheritagepubs.com/pubs/the-oval/) for maximum comfy.

What about your cities, cu/ck/s?

Screenshotted for the next time in in Cork, thanks.

Ok, I'll play.

Orange, CA

Orange Plaza, and four blocks radiating from it. Just on North Glassell St., you can have barbecue, pizza, Irish-American bar, donuts, more pizza, pie, best burger known to man, Portola coffee, Aussie coffee, ice cream made on site, shop devoted to craft beers, I forgot what else. That's only one block of several within spitting distance.

Philly. While there's great food all over the whole city, one spot stands out: Reading Terminal Market. They got it all, bitch.

For breakfast grab a Toad in the Hole from Meltkraft. It's offered only on weekends, because of how annoying it is to assemble prosciutto, Somerset cheese and roasted tomato on brioche with an egg in the hole bun. Down Home Diner is also a good choice because of all the grits-centered meals.

From there it's whatever you want. The place has everything. Multiple mac and cheese spots, cheesesteaks, hoagies, pork rolls, Pennsylvania Dutch food, soul, Thai, Chinese, falafels, wursts, po'boys, etc. And I promise it's all good.

I want to write an illustrated book like this (I'm an illustrator) but make the city completely fictional

Fuck it, I'll do Dublin too.

I'm making the assumption that you're staying on the Southside here.

>Breakfast
Head to Gerry's cafe on Montague Street, between Aungier St. and Harcourt St. It's a tiny working man's cafe that does possibly the best Full Irish you'll get anywhere. If that doesn't take your fancy, the WhiteFriar Grill is close by, where you can get some amazing brunch.

>Mid-morning coffee
So 3FE is the best place for it in Dublin, but it's a trek to get there. So instead, head towards Drury St. and pop into Kaph (kaph.ie) for some damn fine coffee (with 3FE beans, come to think of it). Alternatively, a super-cosy cafe called Accents (accentslounge.wordpress.com) is about two minute's walk from it.

>Lunch
So now you're going to head over to Boojum, which is the holy grail of burritos in Dublin (boojummex.com). They have three locations in the city, two of which are pretty near you at Kaph, so take your pick - I'll assume you're heading to the Southside one so I can lead on to the snack...

>Snack
You're going to head to Aungier Danger, on Aungier street (pronounced 'AYN-gee-ur') for some of their horrifyingly addictive donuts (aungierdanger.ie). You can further disgrace yourself by walking back towards town, and popping into Krust on the way for a cronut (krustbakery.com)

>Dinner
Hard one, and sort of depends what you want, but assuming you're in the city centre and don't want to break the bank, I'd suggest either:

Head to Bunsen (bunsen.ie) on Camden street (or their South Anne Street location) for insanely delicious burgers and sweet potato fries.

Alternatively, jump on the Luas and get off in Ranelagh, then basically take your pick. The Butcher Grill, Kinara (superb pakistani place) and Dillingers are all amazing.

>Post-dinner drinks
If you went to Bunsen, then head to Baggot Street and pop into Toners or Doheny & Nesbitts (the political pubs) for the best Guinness you'll get in Ireland.

If you went to Ranelagh, have a quiet pint in Smyths.

Any suggestions for London?
Should be there for a few days January/February..

And please, no kebab/curry places

What's your budget?

Cape Town

>Spicy food - Head to the eastern food bazaar, Try the bunny chow and bring anti acids.
Dont bother with the weeb foods they are dissapointing, go for the indian and malay shit.

The waterfront is the tourist trappy sort of place but there is something of everything for any kind of meal from fine dining to mcdonalds.
It is the safe option if you are clueless on where to go.

There is also a food market called the food market. Nearly everything is delicious there.

On saturdays there is a food market called Root44 on Route 44 tasty snackage in abundance if you dont mind driving for 40 minutes.

Dont bother with the biscuit mill even though people reccomend it. You will get swarmed with beggars at the entrance, it is always overcrowded and you will never find a place to sit and eat the portions so large that you will have to sit and eat.

Dont bother with any fancy place with a line of people or a reservation requirement. It will be expensive and more often than not dissapointing.

Also just because I suddenly crave weeb kibble right now : Downtown ramen. Opens late after 5pm. A dusty place in the back room of Lefty's bar with the most filling and delicious big ass bowl of noodles and other shit I've had to date. Get the Shoyu. Its a fucking shoyu place.

Going to be spending 15 days or so in Florence this Winter, anybody have some advice/recommendations?
