Food Street

Street names in Lahore can be comically practical. Take Food Street, a pedestrian road lined with sidewalk cafes selling kebobs, rice, and dahl. We went there for dinner, and I had the best sweet lassi of my life, served in a giant aluminum cup. Sweet lassis, like milkshakes, just taste better from aluminum containers. The atmosphere was relaxed, families strolling about, women flirting and gossiping, their long scarves billowing behind them in the faint breeze.
