Çukurcuma is Istanbul’s main antiques district. The meatball shop is on Faik Paşa Caddesi, just downhill from A la Turca, Erkal Aksoy’s museum-like carpet and ceramics shop at number four.
Three stories of town house are filled with fine
furniture, rugs and objet d’arts, all displayed with the finesse of an
expert interior designer.
Cornucopia readers can be sure of a warm welcome.
These
days Pamuk lives in Cihangir, due left of the square with the green mosque.
On
Akarsu Caddesi you’ll find the Orhan Kemal Museum, dedicated to another of
Turkey’s great writers.
From there store fronts thin out and the cafes – still
plentiful – become more and more local in character.
