My Trip

A walking food crawl through Hanoi's four signature street eats, all within the Old Quarter. Start with morning pho, then banh mi, rest with the famous egg coffee, and finish with the bun cha Obama ate. These are queue-worthy local institutions, so aim for meal times for the real deal. (The Obama bun cha shop is now tourist-heavy with mixed reviews — go for the 'experience.')
