This past Friday Astrid & I met up in the center of the city to find somewhere to have dinner. London is so vast that there are huge portions of the city we simply haven't seen. So, from Oxford Circus tube we just started randomly walking in search of a nice place to enjoy dinner.
I still get a kick out of the pub culture over here. It's maybe 8pm and every pub we come across (and there are LOTS!) seems to have lots of folks inside and out, since you can bring your drinks out onto the street, more common now with the smoking ban. This one pub, the WhiteHorse, was especially packed.... the pedestrian street outside was almost incrossable due to the sheer amount of people outside the pub enjoying a pint.
Anyhow, we finally came across Kaslik, this great little Lebanese place. We had a bunch of little dishes, but the lamb sausages and the hummus were definitely the highlight! The service wasn't anything to write home about, but just as we were finishing up, the tunes were cranked up, conversation died down, and the belly dancer came out. A nice finish to a nice meal indeed.
