On an afternoon stroll...
OJ squeezed to order from a street cart. 1 lira. (70 cents)
Tart and slightly pulpy.
Street snack of peeled cucumber with salt. 50 Kuruş. (35 cents)
Perfect.
Take out from my Turkish equivalent of Zorona's; delicious, comforting, wholesome, craving quenching, reliable, fresh, lemony, and any other relevant adjective. Those of you in 12604 know what I am saying... This place, Urfam, is off the charts. Red lentil soup comes hot with a big slice of lemon, thick, soft Turkish bread comes with fresh, spicy tomato dip, and tavuk şiş (shish) kebap comes with risotto-esque bular, charred tomatoes, sumak'd onion salad, and about 2 feet of flat bread (enough to fill up and then share with your suitemate).
All for about... 10 U$D.
No replacement for Joe, but a worthy parallel till I am back in P-Town.
