Graben
Graben Vienna 1010Description:
Graben means ditch, and this street's name goes back to the Roman Empire when a ditch ran along a wall that was erected on this site. Stretching from St. Stephen's to the Kohlmarkt, it is today one of the city's most exclusive addresses. Its most prominent feature is the magnificent Pestsaeule (plague column), which was completed in 1692 after being commissioned in 1679 to commemorate the city's great plague of that year. Following morning deliveries, the Graben is closed to traffic and is great for strolling along or sitting in one of the guest gardens for coffee and cake or a meal.

Manner
Stephansplatz 7 Vienna 1010 • 1-513-7018Description:
1ST DISTRICT. "Chocolate for everyone" was the motto on which this business was built in the 1890s. The company's most famous product is the "Manner Schnitten," a wafer biscuit with hazelnut filling, which every Austrian child knows the way American children know chocolate-chip cookies. Today, Manner is Austria's biggest sweets manufacturer, producing some of the country's best-loved products (popular with the country's dentists, too).

Naschmarkt
Wienzeile, Kettenbrücke Vienna 1040Description:
4TH DISTRICT. A glorious attack on the senses and Vienna's most famous food market. One alley of food stalls and a parallel alley of restaurants and cafés. In the days before Vienna rediscovered itself as a metropolis, the Naschmarkt was the only place where you could get a decent range of foreign foods; although it's lost some of its exclusivity, it remains the most extensive, multicultural market in the city. Expect a great choice of high-quality, good value kebabs as you walk through.
