Really love this quote from David Mitchell's Unruly.
When my wife and I are visiting a nice town or village for the first time, the question we always ask is, where's the bit? That's what we're looking for: the main bit. The nice bit. The bit you're supposed to go and walk around where the stuff is. The bit that, once seen, gives you the authority to say you've been to the place. Tourists judge a place by its bit, even if locals eschew the bit because they're inured to its beauties and obsessed with the difficulty of parking. Anything from a substantial village to a small city will have one bit. Sorrento in Italy, where we have spent a few holidays, is blessed with two bits, and we'd been going there for several years before we discovered the second one. It's the old port. Metropolises like London and New York can have several bits, and Los Angeles has no real bit at all, but quite large places still have only one. Cambridge and Bath, for example, have relatively sizable bits, but only one each. It isn't really the place, though. It's only a small part of the place. It's just the bit you don't want to miss because it's most characteristic of the place.

Tariffs will be in the news for a bit here. Bonus points to the first outlet that makes a map like this old gem from the Illustrated London News (1926).
