23. Where can I find a Lebanese restaurant? p1
In Brooklyn, NY, there are a couple Lebanese Restaurants on Atlantic
Ave. One is Tripoli Restaurant, good food, a bit expensive, good to
invite a guest, and another more popular (and affordable) Kabab and
Shawarma restaurant (a-la Abu Khudor) accross the street from Tripoli
Restaurant. The Kabab restaurant even has an indoor water fountain,
nice touch.
The area near NY Univ in Manhattan has quite a few M.E. restaurants.
In Manhattan there is Cedars of Lebanon restaurant.
Here is the Address:
Cedars of Lebanon
39 East 30th Street
New York City, 10016
Phone: (212) 213 2380
I've been to this restaurant and it is excellent.
They have a Lebanese band that sings Lebanese songs,
and the food is very good.
Excellent place for a Saturday evening.
Atlantic Ave is the best place to get lebanese food from.
There is "Shahadi". They carry a lot of good food: kHubz, zaitoon, Homos,
Jibne, all kinds of canned foods, etc. they even have arabic sweets, but You
should take a look 1st at Damascus Bakery two doors away. Well when you get
there you'll see it.
Also here in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn , which is easily gotten to by car or
train (The R Train) we have EVEN MORE Lebanese, Syrian, Palestinian,
Egyptian grocery stores then you'd ever imagine that was on Atlantic
Avenue. Also if you are islamic there are tons and tons of Hallal meat
stores located on 5th avenue in the 70's,and 60's (streets)
--> addition:
Moustache, 90 Bedford St., NYC (Soho -- btwn Grove and Barrow St off
of 7th Ave South). Has excellent variations on Hummos, Tabouleh,
Mana'eesh (za'tar bread) and a dish called Ouzi (rice, chicken,
spices...). Long lines but worth it, excellent price and quality,
a "best kept secret".
Byblos, 3rd Avenue and 39th St. Excellent food, reasonable prices,
great host and singing-belly dancing on weekends.
Al-Bustan, 827 Third Avenue (between 50 and 51st Street) -
212-759-5933 It caters to the business world, with professional
atmosphere, and great food.
