You step onto Lincoln Square as midmorning light slices between brick storefronts and the scent of fresh pretzels and warm chocolate threads through the air. The guide—yellow flag in hand—leads the small group past a candy counter where a nutty brittle is winked at from a glass case, then down side streets that feel older than the cars parked along them.
