The walk leads you to a secret vintage bookshop—a testament to the intellect and love for learning of Hanoi’s people—where you will savor humble alleyway delicacies like crab noodle soup and freshly steamed rice rolls, before unwinding with a rich egg coffee on the second floor of a charming old apartment building.
