Christkindlmarket in Daley Plaza
A short walk to The Berghoff, the Christkindlmarket in Daley Plaza attracts more than a million visitors every year, a few of whom show up in lederhosen. Most of us are there for the chow, including doner kebab (the Middle Eastern sandwich by way of Berlin) and glogg, or Glühwein, the steaming mulled wine. Vendors come direct from Deutschland every Christmas season. (David Hammond)
