Every town and village is interesting but most cities like Paris suck -
if you live downtown you're probably living in a food desert. The
existence of numerous cafes and restaurants notwithstanding. Most poor
people, which is almost everyone who lives in a city, don't eat their
main meals at fancy, expensive restaurants.
Let's review the definition of a food desert:
A food desert is an area where affordable healthy food is difficult to
obtain, especially those who do not have a means of transportation like
a car. There are food deserts in rual areas and in cities where
low-income communities don't have access to supermarkets so they can get
their food at reasonable prices.

health food store is. I even read that in the US only San Francisco
has more restaurants per capita than FF!
Ahem. You must have been confusing your backwater town of Fairfield,
IA with Fairfield, CT. Let this serve as a lesson to you not to
believe things told to you by Ru's that you'd *like* to believe
because it inflates your ego and you sense of
center-of-the-universenessitude, and a reminder to search for the
truth instead:

P.S. The same thing was said by Santa Fe, NM, and every other town
I've lived in that wanted visitors to think it was more interesting
than it really was.
P.S.S. Every town in the universe is interesting, if you're just weird
enough.
P.S.S.S. No town in the universe is interesting if you're not.
