The Most Legendary Restaurants in the World

I would usually translate this as "the most over-rated and overpriced tourist traps to avoid" yet this evening we're off to Peter Cat on Park Street, tenth on the list.

Three reasons I'm not put off going:

• We had decided to go anyway, having received a recommendation from a fellow passenger on the river cruise;
• I had no idea such a list existed, and the only other listed place we've been to, in Bursa (taken by a friend who lived there) was excellent, albeit almost before the internet was a thing;
• We'll be passing many other places and may not actually reach Peter Cat, or be put off by queueing and find somewhere else to eat this evening!

Our morning took us to the New Market area - new a few hundred years ago. We've not been here long enough not to find that really hard work - beggars of all ages, touts for shops and stalls, being careful where to step, assailed by smells ranging from wonderful to foul... There are also the fascinating jobs going on, ladder making to stripping sweetcorn from the cobs (with fingernails), phone repair (with soldering iron) to collecting used cans and plastic bottles. I would make a useless photographer - reluctant to intrude and take photos! So more scenes than portraits!
