After a typical, long flight (16 hours) from SFO to Istanbul, via JFK, our group assembled to take the bus to our hotel. Nice hotel, we are on the sixth floor; good exercise. After dinner at the hotel, Gloria and I went exploring. We are next to a town square with a long walking street close by with hundreds of restaurants, vendors and shops and thousands of people strolling on a Saturday night.
Lots of these guys around selling giant roasted hazelnuts.
We wanted to walk around not just to see people, but also to check out a place to eat tomorrow night; we are on our own for dinner. We think we found it. This diner was packed with locals for the gyros or doner. On the right is a huge stack of lamp they bar-b-q, slicing off bits then combining the meat with vegies in a tortilla like wrapping. These are famous all over the world under different names. We have probably eaten them in four different countries; we can never pass them up!
