Meals as route anchors

Bad meal timing breaks a day. Good meal timing restores it.

Practical lunch strategy

Morning area	Best lunch move
Speicherstadt/HafenCity	Stay nearby and avoid long detours
City center museums	Eat between venue transitions
Harbor/St. Pauli	Early dinner before evening crowds

Three rules

Never start searching while hungry and far from transit.
Keep one quick option and one slow option saved.
If a line is long, pivot fast.

Bottom line

Food planning is logistics planning, and logistics planning is joy protection.
