A couple years ago, a really hip girlfriend of mine introduced me to the “Taste the World” walking and sampling tour of downtown Lancaster … and it was a BLAST! It felt a bit like a “foodie scavenger hunt”… we followed a map, working our way from restaurant to restaurant, tasting the delicious samples they had planned for us. In between the restaurants we enjoyed the sights, shopped a bit, people-watched, listened to live music, and generally enjoyed exploring beautiful & eclectic downtown Lancaster.
