We are all very much foodies, but also enjoy a nice dinner out...looking for breakfast, lunch and dinner recos. Help! Thu Jul 23 14:47:07 -0700 2009 220327 nonibear 1 4888302 nonibear, i suggest you look through the previous posts on this board. there is plenty of discourse on Ciya, the foodie shrine of the city. greasy breakfasts at Lades 2 or Van Kahvaltasi. I also suggest the little kosks inside of Yildiz park for long turkish breakfast sans carhorns. kebab at zubeyir. abracadabra for a "nicer" dinner out. narrow things down a bit and i am sure people will chime in. check www.istanbuleats.com for detailed reviews, addresses, etc. Fri Jul 24 15:17:32 -0700 2009 4885098 242937 antman
