Every few Sundays, you might feel like getting out, but not out out. Maybe you don’t want to go through the hassle of planning, packing, booking but you still want to take a little road trip in your fancy clothes. On such days, head out with a wad of cash and an empty stomach. Nothing like an Eat Street-esque day about town.

If you have a friend tagging along, play restaurant roulette and head to whatever place looks coolest on Google. Order things that are out of your comfort zone and things that you can’t pronounce. If the results are totally incompatible with your palate, frozen yogurt will forever be a constant.

If experimentation isn’t your cup of tea, head to the nearest mall. Malls are already watered down in terms of edible offerings, but pick out an unlikely stall. Add the weird-looking sauces and toppings. Go wild with the options. Best case, you have a new favorite food. Worst case, you now have an exotic food Instagram.

Do not limit yourself to indoor endeavors. Stop at road-side vendors and get yourself some fresh fruit. Take to the streets, literally. Walk around with a bottle of water and a generous amount of sunscreen. Take pictures of people. Take pictures of things. Take pictures of people taking pictures of things. There are endless opportunities when you are in the mood for a moderate amount of fun.
