This year, many cafes and restaurants in Hanoi are open throughout Tet, always crowded from early morning to late at night. A large number of people flock to the entertainment center streets, young people hunt for beautiful shops to take check-in photos to help the shops “make money”.
In recent years, in Hanoi, the number of restaurants opening during Tet has been increasing. The holiday season becomes the peak season for food and beverage business, which many restaurant owners take advantage of and fully exploit.
Shops are beautifully decorated, creating many check-in corners to attract young people. Fresh flowers, ornamental plants, miniature landscapes,… are designed in a variety of ways, filled with spring atmosphere.
A lot of young people go to cafes and chat at the beginning of the year. Choosing a cafe on Khuc Hao street for a New Year’s meeting, Ms. Thuy Chi (Ba Dinh, Hanoi) said that the Tet menu has clear prices listed, without any cutting corners. Therefore, even though the price increased, Ms. Chi is still satisfied with the Tet service.
During coffee sessions at the beginning of the year, it is indispensable to take commemorative photos. Young people dressed up to check-in.
Not only cafes, but also food, noodle, and pho restaurants are especially popular during Tet.
Changing dishes to relieve Tet boredom, many diners choose to eat pho rolls, flocking to the Ngu Xa area (Ba Dinh, Hanoi) to enjoy this dish.
Ngu Xa “Pho Cuon Street” is closed, customers who order food have to wait 15 – 20 minutes to have enough food. The price increased slightly by 10,000 VND/dish. Some restaurants operate on a family model, mobilizing all relatives to serve but still cannot keep up with customers’ requests.
Warm weather favors outdoor activities and sightseeing. The number of people flocking to the central area is very large, causing many streets to fall into congestion, making transportation difficult.
