It's always great to research restaurants beforehand. But sometimes it's also fun to leave it up to chance. Be adventurous! Don't be afraid of picking a restaurant without an English menu... the waiter and other patrons can always help. Or, maybe they won't. So what?

During your vacation, pick one item randomly off the menu for your meal. One of the most memorable meals we had was in a little restaurant in Japan that didn't have an English menu. We blindly picked several items, and I ended up with one of my favorite Japanese dishes that I would've never ordered if I had an English translation: ochazuke, or green tea with rice!

Pro tip: If you're concerned about picking an unfamiliar dish, be sure to do it on a night you're "venue hopping."
