How it works (and its limits)

We extracted named restaurants, cafés, fast-food spots, food halls, bakeries, delis, ice-cream shops and bars/pubs that are tagged as serving food from OpenStreetMap (Geofabrik extract, Oct. 2026), within about 500 m of each mapped route.
The data is stored on this site, so tapping the map doesn't send your location or taps to anyone.
Distances are straight-line; walking times assume about 80 m per minute. Parade crowds and barricades will slow you down.
OpenStreetMap is community-edited, so places may be missing, closed or have changed hours. Many restaurants near the routes change hours or go reservation-only on parade days. Always check before you go.
This isn't a ranking or an endorsement, and no restaurant paid to be listed.
