If you find yourself in Beirut...

Eat here:
Abu Hassan, on Caracas Street, Manara.
Order as much as you can (be wary, portions are large). It is exquisitely delicious. Undeniably similar to but also distinct from Turkish food. Sorry, I can go no further than that.

Drink here:
The Rabbit Hole on Makdissi Street. Their happy hour is just 2 happy 2 handle. Try (so I've heard...) their "doodoo" shot (maybe it's spelled differently in Lebanese, I don't think so but I'm not sure) (its vodka + lemon juice + tobasco + an olive) or their bloody mary martini, or their long island iced tea.
