Lyon, slowly: a weekend inside the bouchons
France's gastronomic capital keeps a table set and assumes you'll have the sense to sit down. Quenelles, Beaujolais and the unhurried art of the bouchon.

The "fat city" earns its nickname before noon. Real tagliatelle al ragù, mortadella, tortellini in brodo, and forty kilometers of porticoes.
A three-hour breakfast, meze without end, rakı by the Bosphorus, and a spice bazaar that smells like a hundred countries at once.
Gumbo, jazz brunch and the long Creole argument about what belongs in the pot. The most delicious city in America, and it's not close.
A quiet tool for the practical part of an appetite. Pick where you're starting and where you're hungry to go.
