Some would say that it\u2019s practically hell due to the constant traffic jams, the high prices, and the notorious difficulty to find a parking spot. Others will tell you that it\u2019s heaven, a place where art, culture, and diversity flourish; where artisans survive and intellectuals thrive. Having lived in Hamra for many years, I have had the pleasure of discovering many a wonderful spot, and I\u2019m always surprised when people don\u2019t recognize the shops I\u2019m talking about. So here are four of Hamra\u2019s many hidden gems.<\/big><br \/>  <br \/>  <b><big><big>Deep Music \u2013 music shop<\/b><\/big><\/big><br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/42863-1-250x250.png\" width=\"100%\"><br \/>  <br \/>  <big>I had passed by this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/l\/2942\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">music shop<\/a> a million times before noticing it existed, and even when I did, it was only because I heard Fairuz\u2019s voice floating out of a small door. When you walk in, what hits you first is a feeling of instant nostalgia emanating from the cassette-covered walls of the teeny shop. For a moment, you feel like you know and miss all of these Lebanese singers and composers, though most have probably died before you were even born. The richness of this place lies in the fact that it\u2019s an archive of Lebanese artists who produced timeless music, some of which most of us grew up hearing. Want a cassette for your grandparents\u2019 old radio? They have hundreds. Want that artist on a CD? No problem. Want some compilation of your favorite artists? Sure! This place has it all. Literally.<\/big><br \/>  <br \/>  <b><i>Address: Baalbak Street, Hamra.

Hidden in a narrow alley, right in front of the Lavender Caf\u00e9, this place offers hearty, homey traditional food in generous portions, for next to nothing. Famous for its \u201cFattet Hummus\u201d (which is truly like none other I\u2019ve ever tasted,) this place even offers to prepare food for you to put in tupperwares and take home, which makes it a go-to stop for foreigners who want to eat homemade Lebanese food without paying a fortune. Did I mention the Fattet Hummus? Try that, seriously.<\/big><br \/>  <br \/>  <b><i>Address: Commodore St., Hamra, Beirut, Lebanon<br \/>  Telephone: +961-1-354865<\/b><\/i><br \/>  <br \/>  <b><big><big>Melki \u2013 Haberdashery (or that place with all the buttons) <\/b><\/big><\/big><br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/42863-250x250.png\" width=\"100%\"><br \/>  <br \/>  <big>I\u2019ve always been a fan of DIY projects. Making stuff is as gratifying as it is relaxing, and you end up with handmade masterpieces (or so your mother says.) The only problem is: where to find all those little things you need, like ribbons or thread, or buttons or googly eyes? Hamra (of course) has the answer for you. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.here.com\/lebanon\/beyrouth\/shop\/melki--422jx7ps-151fa7523bf408bfe44f755e2bd82908?x=ep&#038;map=33.89645,35.48142,16,normal\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\"> Melki<\/a> is a small place just off of Hamra main street, where you can find all sorts of fabrics, bows, sewing material and so much more. Whether you\u2019re looking for parts for an old sewing machine, specific fabrics, crochet needles, or those fancy sewing-material baskets all our grandmas hide in their closets, Melki has it all. This is your chance to get started on that knitting hobby, because you know, winter is coming.<\/big><br \/>  <br \/>  <b><i>Address: Makdissi Street, Hamra.<\/b><\/i><br \/>  <br \/>  <b><big><big>Ants \u2013 Accessories, Clothing, and Decorations<\/b><\/big><\/big><br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/42863-2-250x250.png\" width=\"100%\"><br \/>  <br \/>  <big>I\u2019m always baffled at how few people know this place. Although it\u2019s rather small, it\u2019s a veritable Ali Baba\u2019s cave of Indian and far-eastern treasures. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/l\/2498\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Ants<\/a>  is located just over Bliss Street. In the crammed space inside, you\u2019ll find everything from earrings to necklaces, rings and bracelets, clothes and scarves, handbags and statuettes, artwork, woodwork, CDs of local artists and vintage vinyl records, and tons of handmade leather items in between. Everything you see is either handmade here in Lebanon, or imported from India and other magical kingdoms. Well-crafted, original, beautiful handmade pieces with a soul of their own?
