What's inside
- All 20 places, by area, so you can plan a day around one neighborhood.
- Walking routes that open as Google Maps walking directions.
- A one-day and a two-day plan, grouped so you're not crossing the city between bites.
- For every place: the founding year, what to order when a source names it, who you'll be eating with, and what to know first (cash only, seasonal, crowds).
- A PDF you keep: links to directions, official sites and the full sourced history for each place.
Same rules as the site
Every founding year and dish is sourced. Nothing is paid placement, and no restaurant knows it's in the kit. If we couldn't verify something, it's left out. Hours change, so the kit links to each official site instead of printing them.
Prefer free? Everything is on the site. The kit is for having it all in one place on your phone.
