What’s the best way to explore a new city?

I’m going to need red lipstick.
And comfortable shoes.

Because I’m willing to be adventurous, but I’m not foolish.

Now, where are we going?

I’m not into piña coladas
or getting caught in the rain.

I am into health food,
but I’m also into champagne.

I like long walks—
provided they eventually lead somewhere with music.

I don’t need reservations everywhere or a list of the ten things we absolutely must see.

Give me one good street,
a place we found by accident,
something I’ve never tasted,
and enough time to wonder what’s around the next corner.

I’ll take a wrong turn without complaining.

So, yes.

Show me your city.

I’ll bring the lipstick.
