First time in a new city; you will go in a museum or in a restaurant?

Culture is more important to me than food. I would visit a museum or an art gallery when I arrive in a city like Paris. It is interesting to meet the local people. It is fascinating to find out about the history. I like to go to a supermarket to get food to eat. I adore eating French bread. I have been to beautiful Paris a few times.

I would be checking out the restaurants first! Nothing like different foods from different places. It can be quite and experience.

I do both, of course. As well as visit Versailles, the Louvre, Notre Dame, etc. etc. etc.

If i had to visit a city for the first time i would naturally like to know more about its culture and spend my time visiting its musuems,its monuments and buildings of historical significance. If there was a zoological park i would also visit it and also the spots of natural beauty like lakes, mountains,and forests. Food would not be my primary concern though i would certainly try out the local wares.I would also like to visit the markets where i would hunt for localy made artefacts were sold.

i will push into a hotel or restaurant first, to taste the food of french..I can learn the history of the city by browsing internet or using wikipedia, but i cannot taste the food in the computer, it has to be real, so i will go to a restaurant first, later if i'm permitted, i'd go to a museum to know the historic importance of the city..

Both. I am interested in the culture in a new city as well as the foods customized to the culture. If you would like to ask which one would be the first? It depends on the planning of the journey. Take a balance, both!

We will always need to eat, so restaurants are good places to stop, but in between meals, I'm interested in seeing the various museums and other tourist attractions of various cities that I may visit. My husband and I went to Toronto for Christmas, and saw lots of places, and ate lots of good food.
