Akşam sefası, Beyoğlu,
Friday, midnight
A friend took me to a tiny meyhane, a restaurant with a duo playing Turkish classical music, popular tunes everybody seems to know. The place was on a small street, just a turn away from the crowded İstiklal street. There was no sign on the street as there usually isn’t. We climbed up the stairs to the (if I remember right) fouth floor. Still no sign. Just a faint echo of music and people talking and laughing trickling from the door. Once the door opened it became clear that this was a very popular place indeed.
I really enjoyed evening and the welcoming atmosphere. Listen to the lively soundscape:
