The food varies on each tour but may include: homemade baked goods, award-winning pies, American diner style small plates, authentic Asian food, artisanal cheeses, tasty plant-based dishes, and delicious drinks from around the world.
  • Meet Local Traders: Chat with vendors and stall owners, hearing firsthand about their craft, recipes, and the stories behind their business.
