Socrate is best known for catering. In Hamra they have this distribution location on Bliss street and a restaurant on the street one block to the south.

Mmm, I'll bet they have some delicious odds and ends on those trucks... I wonder how often they get hi-jacked by hungry gourmets ?
ReplyDeletePS If you are still in US on vacation I sure hope you're finding ways to stay cool...
The same sort of bread/pastry trays as we have here in Oz.
ReplyDeleteIn my days (70's to mid 80's) this _was_ the Socrate restaurant; it is disheartening to read it's moved elsewhere and this prime location is not convenient anymore.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine that the IC/AUB gate intersection has become a traffic nightmare with noisy construction everywhere. I've been told the old Tarazi ice-cream corner shop was knocked down to make way for a hotel, Pasha restaurant and its old yellow building is gone, too. And here I notice that the old building housing the Jeha bookstore to the right of Socrate is no more :-(
Okyrhoe, thanks for sharing your recollections. It would be fun to walk through the city with you and hear what was where once upon a time.
