What’s a Shopping Snack?

We created Souvenir Finder to bring you the best souvenirs, gifts and local shops when you travel. 

But all that shopping can get exhausting! Readers have been asking for it, so it’s time for a Shopping Break.  This section will focus on tips for the best places to grab a quick bite while shopping and touring.  This is not a restaurant guide or a comprehensive look at all eateries,  they’re just tried and tested favorites.

Shopping Break:  Snacks

Who has time for a big sit down lunch when you’re trying to fit in sights and shops?  I rarely do– I prefer stopping for a quick sandwich or slice or even just to pick up a gelato to go.  Convenience is key and I don’t wait in lines.

I love delicious food but I’m no snob– there are plenty of great (and quick) options out there in central locations, I don’t need to go way out of my way to find the “best” of anything when time is tight.  So refer to your foodie guides for the way off the beaten path bistro with the best steak frites, but come here for tips like the best place to grab a croissant before hitting the Louvre.
