TURKEY AS IN THE COUNTRY, NOT THE BIRD
But Still About Food

Should you ever find yourself in Philadelphia and simultaneously hankering for Turkish food, and I know that particular coincidence of events is unlikely to occur among the even most longstanding, diehard, and regular of Center City Philadelphia residents, point yourself and then head in the direction of Konak, the city’s newest, and in fact only, Turkish restaurant, located at 228 Vine Street in Old City [Phone: (215) 592-1212].

You won’t be disappointed. What am I saying? You’ll love it.

It helps if you go with someone who knows even a bit of perfectly pronounced Turkish.

The staff goes nuts for that.

[Post-publication addendum (February 15): I speak no Turkish whatsoever. My guest did. Does.]
