Food
Early morning phở in Hanoi, a breakfast that holds a whole way of street life
For many Hanoians, phở is breakfast. Look at a phở stall at six in the morning and you see the whole rhythm of the city's streets.
Hanoi
A thousand-year-old capital where the Old Quarter, craft villages on the city's edge and early-morning food habits keep their own rhythm inside a fast-growing city.
Cultural context
In Hanoi, layers of history sit side by side on the same street: a communal house between narrow tube houses, a craft village less than an hour away by motorbike, a breakfast stall that appears for only a few hours.
To understand Hanoi, start small: streets named after the goods once sold there, the habit of eating breakfast on the pavement, and villages such as Bat Trang that still live by their ancestors' craft.
