ISTANBUL, Turkey -- As in any big city you can eat both high and low here, but the sheer number of restaurants per linear foot of sidewalk is unparalleled, at least in our experience. Many are tiny kebap and kofte (meatball) shops occupying six-or eight-foot-wide storefronts with no room to sit. One day, lost in a part of the city behind the university on a street devoted to shops that sold only belt buckles, we saw restaurants that seemed hardly bigger than closets. No bit of real estate is too small to accomodate a guy and a spit.
