I am mainly Lebanese but with a little bit of Turkish and other mixes in there. One of my exes and I used to frequent Cafe Fayrouz over on Steinway St in Qns back in the day. Weekends would have live Lebanese music, belly dancers, hookahs, and great Lebanese food. Went with my current gf around a month ago and the place is half the size, play hip hop music which I like but was hoping for Arabic music, and no dancers lol

. Two of my favorite spots are Ilili restaurant and Byblos restaurant. Former on 5th Ave and latter on Madison but about 2 blocks from each other. Both had good food and service last time I went. I agree, if a manhattanite leaves to go to Qns to eat it does say a lot. I'm interested since I don't live far from the city and the girl is from BK we are always around there. What's the place if you don't mind sharing? If you like Spanish food I could put you on a few really good hole in the walls lol.
