Standing on the street, you'd never guess. Tucked behind the rainbow striped canopy and down a half flight of stairs, you'll find a fantastic store filled with all kinds of household and culinary treasures. I was in there the other day and among other things, I found a real waffle iron, top quality utensils, cookware and bakeware. There were fancy trash cans with sensors that open the lid when you put your hand close to it, beautiful hardwood tea boxes and a great selection of glass canisters in all sizes. It's probably my new favorite place.

Sounds like a great place ... and you're right it doesn't look at all promising from the street.
ReplyDeleteWhat a find! I think I'd love shopping there. But, I must admit the sign brought back memories. When I was a youngster my family shopped at the old A & P market chain. I wonder what ever happened to those.
ReplyDeleteI really like your blog! I always read it and get some ideas what i can do when i move to lebanon this summer.
ReplyDeleteThe A&P i have to take a look at.
Rebecka, I saw on your profile that you are from Sweden. One of my friends here in Beirut is also from Sweden. I'll have to introduce you when you come!
ReplyDeleteThat would be nice Mary Ann!
ReplyDeleteWhat are the official language rules in Lebanon, say compared with those in Canada. You have Arabic, French and English. Any rules on how, when, where?
ReplyDeleteInteresting questions, for which I haven't got a good answer. Posted signs can be anything at all--any combination of languages or a language on its own. I don't know if there is a law governing this or not.
ReplyDeleteSpoken . . . I get by with English since I can not function in either French and Arabic. Outside Beirut this would be impossible, I think. French would be more useful than English, but really, there's no substitute for the Lebanese dialect of Arabic.
