We were on a mission to get our sourdough fix, and the bakery’s IG bio claimed it would be at the bi-weekly Turkish market along the canal. The Turkish market has been around for decades, and takes place on Tues & Fri. It’s not for the impatient (like myself), bc the aisle is narrow, and there are a LOT of Turkish ladies dragging around their little shopping trollies.
When we stayed in that district in 2005 & 2010 we went regularly. You can get produce, eggs, meats, fish, Turkish breads of all kinds, nuts, olives & fresh grape leaves,
pickled veg,
Greek cheeses and mezzedes, knick knack, knives, fabric… it’s quite the scene, and worth a visit.
A small food truck area offered dosa, African/Caribbean food, and Tibetan momos.
I love just how international our food scene is.
PS: The bakery stand was not there. Boo hiss.
Some gratuitous grafitti & street art.
