Fill up on more than big-city sightseeing at these foodie havens
Mamma mia! Choosing just 10 of the world's best cities for foodies was no picnic. In the process, we let our tastebuds wander the globe in search of sustenance. Our definitive list finds cities chosen for their unique dishes – if you hanker for snake, head to Hanoi, or for cuy (guinea pig), make way for Lima – others for their celebrity chefs (witness Las Vegas and New York), and still others for creating dishes known the world over – thank you Tokyo for your superlative sushi and sashimi. Of course, France and Italy are renowned for their local cuisine, so you'll find two stellar cities worth visiting here to sate your appetites; Barcelona, however, gets a nod for its winning combination of design and dining; and Vancouver and San Francisco are recognized for their seafood and stellar Chinese cuisine. Bon appetit – wherever your foodie cravings take you!
