Restaurant Crawls and Bar Hops Are the Best Way to Explore These 9 Destinations

From Santa Fe’s margarita trail to an Ohio county’s decadent donuts, these mapped routes are a way to explore a destination with your palate.

For travelers with a competitive streak (paired with relentless thirst and a bottomless stomach), many U.S. cities and regions now offer an ambitious means for exploring the local food and drink scene. Some trails offer “passports” you can get stamped at different stops—with a prize for filling up the book. And if you’re worried about how the heck you’ll stomach the journey, have no fear: Pint-sized or snack-sized options are in abundance at some stops.
