You step off the shaded promenade onto River Street and the city rearranges itself: brick facades, ironwork balconies, and the river’s low murmur daring you to slow down. The three-hour walking tour threads between Broughton Street and River Street, pausing at six different kitchens and taverns where oyster bars, international small plates, and classic Southern biscuits form a tasting map of the Hostess City.
