# Leaving a house or going from one house to another is considered a Shinui Makom.

Even if one only left for a second it’s considered a Shinui. <Ref> Vezot HaBracha (pg 56, chapter 6) </ref>

# Even by bread, initially one may not make a Shinui for an extended period of time because one may forget to return and make Birkat haMazon, however, it’s permissible to make a Shinui for a short time. In order to perform a mitzvah, it’s permissible to leave the area for a long time, however, one should make sure not to forget the [[Bracha Achrona]] within Shuir Ikul. If one is afraid that one will forget, then one should make the [[Bracha Achrona]] before moving to the other place. <ref>Vezot HaBracha (pg 61, chapter 6) </ref>

S.A 678:5 quotes the Rambam and the Rashbam that all shivat haminim (including Ha’motzi and Mezonot foods) require a bracha achrona in their place. However, the S.A also cites the Rosh that only grain products (both Ha’motzi and Mezonot) require a bracha achrona in their place.  The Rama however holds that only bread requires a bracha achrona in its place. The M.B 178:5 quotes achronim who write that one should be stringent even regarding the shivat haminim to return to one’s place to bentch on these foods.  However, the M.B also quotes the Gra who holds that only for grain products must one return to his original place.  </ref>
