How this plan was made

Every place on this page holds a MICHELIN Guide distinction or a James Beard Foundation honor, or was checked by hand for Eats Ranked. Chains are left out and no restaurant pays to be listed. For each day FoodTrip picks dinner first, then lunch and breakfast, keeps to the budget, uses a different cuisine each meal and keeps the day's stops close together. No place appears twice.

This is one plan out of many. Open it in the planner to set your own dates, meals a day, budget and party size, swap any stop, reserve a table and add the meals to your calendar. See every city FoodTrip covers.
