The morning air in Hanoi’s Old Quarter is a sharp, savory promise: steam rising from bowls of pho, vendors arranging herbs on low stools, and motorbikes threading between markets like rivers around stones. Meet at the Thang Long Water Puppet Theater and the day unfolds as a walking feast—an egg-coffee workshop, banh cuon from a shop that’s been rolling rice sheets for generations, Nom Bo Kho’s tangy dried beef salad, and regional dumplings before a cool iced lemon tea at St. Joseph’s Cathedral.
