    Tip · IstanbulGrea Coffee NationsA roastery café tucked into Yeniköy with a courtyard out back. Terrazzo floors, good chairs, good light. They have a big old roaster and supply a lot of the hip cafés in Istanbul with coffee — so you're drinking it at the source. The kind of spot you find on a morning walk and end up staying longer than planned.

    Shop · KuloğluAsri Turşucu (Turkish Pickles)You walk past the window and you stop. Wall-to-wall jars with red-checked lids, stacked floor to ceiling — pickled green tomatoes, carrots, beans, peppers, cucumbers, things you can't identify and need to try. The yellow taxi reflected in the glass. Since 1938, says the logo. You go in. If you like pickled things, this place will bring you joy.
