...Lunch on tabbouleh and stuffed vine leaves at Al-Khawali, tel: (963-11) 222 5808. A postprandial cardamom coffee should give you the energy for a tour of Azem Palace, the biggest Ottoman house in the Old City. You may snigger at the mannequins in period costume, but you'll gasp at the exquisite carving, painted ceilings and marble floors. Move on to Umayyad Mosque, one of the world's oldest, having been completed in 715. Before that, it was successively an Aramaean temple, a Roman temple and then a Byzantine church. Over the centuries it has become a meeting...
Like most rallies, the recent Panshir event was followed by a free lunch of the ubiquitous pullau for all attendees. Yet teacher Abdul Khai, who calls Abdullah "a good mujahedin," says most people came for Abdullah, not the food. Abdullah's mother was a Tajik from Panshir, and he is considered to be a native son.

...African family—how they will continue to feed you long after you're full, and how they will take in anybody, no matter how distantly related, if they need a place to stay or a meal.

I've walked around town wearing a paper...

He dined, hooped and - ahem - bowled with friends at Camp David over the weekend, but he's spending the big day itself on the job, having lunch with Senate Democrats to discuss his Administration's accomplishments and goals. (No word on whether there will be cake.) Sure, it sounds like a snooze, but throwing a top-notch fete is a tall order when you have to follow more than two centuries of Presidents who knew...
There are definitely positives to being on the lower end of this age bias. I’ve only once paid for lunch at work (and that was when I went out with my young, hipster coworker), because I’m the youngest person in the company. When a seat opens up during rush hour on the Seoul Metro, the older men in suits stand by, and I only have to fight with the other young women in the car for it. When I go out with my Korean friends, the older ones take the lead and organize things...
