I'm going to try this next time I'm out in a new city:
Barman's Knock
Hypothesis
Find the area's best drinking spots (and drinks) by following the advice of a local expert.
Apparatus
Dutch courage; a map and a friendly face may also be of use.
Method
Go to your favourite pub and order your favourite drink. Ask the barperson where their favourite pub is and what they drink there. Go there and order their recommended drink, and then repeat the exercise with whoever serves you, and so on.
Note: participants would be well advised not to attempt this experiment on an empty stomach, nor to repeat it ad nauseam.

Oh I love this. Great find.
A related idea that I had last year - and sadly, failed to complete, due to chaos - was travelling alphabetically. Starting from Z. Literally, our village started with Z. I managed X, W, V, S, O, L, F, C, B, and A (where we now live - so we moved Z-A, at any rate!), but a baby and transatlantic move bit into my time a little.
Not much travel time this year - maybe in honour of moving to Russia I'll make it a five-year plan...
