This guide is the same as our popular “Where Global is Local” guided food tour. But why wait for us to show you around? On your own or with a friend use this guide to sample the district’s best international eats. This mile-long walking-tour begins at the northern end of the business district where there is plenty of street parking and works its way south. It will take you about three hours and cost around $30 per person, depending on how many sharers you have along with you.

When you’re finished and full of food, just hop on the 47 bus route back to where you started. It runs straight up and down 5th Street every five minutes. If walking just isn’t your thing, get a day pass and hop on and off the route 47 at your leisure.

We hope you brought an appetite!
