Well, it's not the good old days anymore, you know. We are missing the glory days of Asmalı Mescit as a lively, magical place that never disappointed. However, someone said&nbsp;“We should not be hopeless, we are better than this!” and we agreed. We know Asmalı Mescit will come back eventually. We’ll dance till the first light of the morning, the galleries will reopen, Istanbulites will redefine the culture here. Maybe even Babylon will come back. If we can dream it, we can do it.And the good news is out of Asmalı Mescit this month!

If you ask Berkok, one of our food writers, he recommends Azgın Tavuk&nbsp;(chicken) because of its pita and sauce. If you ask me as a vegetarian, I say go for the French fries and try mac &amp; eski kaşar. If you are open to new experiences, of course.&nbsp;What to order:&nbsp;Azgın Tavuk and French friesWhere:&nbsp;Asmalı Mescit Jurnal Street No: 2aHeads up:&nbsp;It is open between 12 p.m. and 1 a.m.&nbsp;

The cool kid of Asmalı Mescit: Bordel is here

Bir zamanlar köfteleri kartonpiyerden gibi, domates sosu sulandırılmış kiremit tozundan hâllice olmayan Kızılkayalar ve farklı kılıftaki kardeşleri artık eski gece hayatının bitiş noktası değil. Hoş eski gece hayatı da var denemez ama NOH Radio, Tavern ve Gizli Bahçe çıkışı gibi Beyoğlu gerçekleri hâlâ mevcut. Fakat sonrasında yorgunluk ve sarhoşluğu dindirecek, açlığı alacak bir mekân yok.&nbsp;<img src="https://images.aposto.com/2022/7/3/1661348353538.png" style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px; border-style: none; position: relative; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box;" ratio="0.67" width="550" fr-original-style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">Asmalı sokaklarında, yeniden<hr fr-original-style="" style="height: 0px; overflow: visible; border-bottom: none; clear: both; user-select: none; break-after: page; box-sizing: border-box;">Yoktu. Bordel dün resmî olarak açıldı. Mabou Pera’nın Alman-Fransız donanımlı şefi Cem Ekşi’nin başının altından çıkma, Gökhan Çilak’ın mutfağının başında olduğu mekânda currywurst ve bratwurst gibi sosisliler baştacı. Fıçı bira ve birkaç daha afilli hâliyle içki mevcut. Benim favorim ve gecelerimi süsleyecek yemek Azgın Tavuk, uzun pişmiş, soslu bir tavukla içi doldurulmuş özenle yapılmış tombik pide. Asmalı’nın sillesini yemiş bir şefin elinden çıkma Bordel, mahallesini istediği yere çevirmek peşinde. Bundan sonra her gece&nbsp;“on va au bordel” diyerek bitiyor.&nbsp;<img src="https://images.aposto.com/2022/7/3/1661347927538.png" style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px; border-style: none; position: relative; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box;" ratio="0.68" width="550" fr-original-style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">Alır mıydınız bir sosisli?&nbsp;Fotoğraflar: Deniz Sabuncu<hr fr-original-style="" style="height: 0px; overflow: visible; border-bottom: none; clear: both; user-select: none; break-after: page; box-sizing: border-box;">
