Eat at the public market - Dining out tip

Public markets are great places to find fresh, local food. From farmer's markets in California to public markets in Chile, you can find food booths dishing up vibrant local fare. It's one of the best ways to soak up the culture and tradition of any city or town while traveling.

It also gives you the opportunity to indulge in unusual local dishes that you may not find in restaurants. Eating at the public market is a good way to stretch your food budget, as booth food is usually extremely cheap.

Bonus: it's usually prepared on the spot, so you're bound to get something super-fresh!
