Best with a friend and works in all kinds of cities. I especially recommend it in August and September because it is both a) warm outside and b) dark by 8pm so people are awake and at home with their lights on lol
preferably after a concert or a dinner or a fun outing… making my way through the streets and admiring all the window displays that are still lit despite the stores’ closures
…also forces you to stick to the true spirit of the activity! you cannot enter in to make an impulse buy even if you wanted to… at the very least you will have to sleep on it :p
because at night, it’s very fun to pretend that every single house with under lighting is actually telling a flash light camp-fire ghost story to the other houses on the block.
