Fun fact! On my last trip I found out if you're not on a phone contract, due to some goofy regulation, wireless carriers block your ability to make overseas calls.
To answer the OP, personally I'll take ~$100 local currency for emergencies and initial spending, use CC for most things, and take out cash there if I need it via an ATM. That way it gives me a gauge of how much I'm spending a day.
US however I rarely take out cash anymore outside of a bit of walking around money, unless it's Vegas.
