Çorlulu Ali Paşa Camii ve Medresesi / Mosque and Madrasa. Fatih, Istanbul. Best Turkish coffee in town.
Istanbul's Best Coffee Shop
Istanbul's Best Coffee Shop - Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi, the phenomenal 141-year-old Turkish coffee purveyor, is located in a weather-beaten deco building just outside of Istanbul's Spice Market. Through its street-front window, thousands of brown wax-paper packets of freshly ground coffee are sold each day. The beans are roasted on the premises and then ground as finely as cake flour in belt-driven mills that chug away from morning to night.

Just imagine, sneaking in for a light evening snack with the one you love..... I can almost taste it. amescit - Beyoglu - istanbul -turkey

Hagia Sophia, Istanbul, Turkey. A former Orthodox patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, and now a museum. The dome is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture.
Baklava
Baklava, Istanbul that is one tall baklava. Layers of thin pastries, honey, nuts, and something else... but usually severed in the states about 4" tall. Wow!
