The other night two girlfriends and I went out to a meyhane, a restaurant that serves alcohol with food. We had mezes (salads, olive oil dishes and feta cheese), fish, and raki with ice. Almost everyone smokes in a meyhane, even my friend who normally doesn’t. There were live musicians. When you go to a meyhane it’s expected that you’ll stay for several hours, drinking, smoking, singing and eating. It used to be that women couldn’t go to such places without men, and women weren’t served raki. Thank God for progress.
