Hanegah: Little Fish, Big City
November 18, 2013, by Istanbul Eats
Around the time that hamsi, our favorite little fish, appear in the markets of Istanbul in late fall we become restless for the Black Sea-style cooking we’ve been missing since the previous season. Hamsi (fresh anchovies) are not the only thing to eat in a Black Sea restaurant, but eating in one that doesn’t have hamsi sometimes feels like sitting down for a meal in a BBQ joint that only serves coleslaw.

Small things charm in Istanbul’s bustling cultural crossroads
By Patricia Harris and David Lyon
Turkish Delight is sold on practically every street corner in Istanbul, but the most famous place to buy the gummy candy with chopped dates or nuts is confectioner Haci Bekir, which opened in 1777. Glass cases in the narrow shop are filled with what Istanbulus call “lokum” in a rainbow of colors. When the shopkeeper sensed that we were paralyzed by so many choices, he came out from behind the counter and offered an array of samples — mint, cinnamon, pistachio, even mustard — on a silver tray.
