Some tips:
- The best time to enjoy street food is typically around lunchtime when most vendors open their stands. Be aware that some stands might not be open till late in the day.
- When visiting the markets, don't be afraid to haggle a bit. It's all part of the experience. However, remember to be respectful - vendors are just trying to make a living.
- When dining at the local restaurant, try to get a table near the water for the best experience. The ambiance will add to their dining experience, making the date even more memorable.
