We&#8217;ve compiled a list of all the things you can do on any given day in one of Beirut&#8217;s most bustling neighborhoods.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First things first, let\u2019s get you caffeinated. We respect the need for a finely-brewed cup of morning joy to kickstart your day. We\u2019re gonna give you some options for this one. If you want to get your cup with a good view, we recommend you take a seat at <b>Cafe Younes<\/b>. If you want a cup-n-go, go grab a drink from <b>Latte Art<\/b> on Bliss. If both these options don\u2019t seem right, check out <b>Kaldi Coffee bar<\/b>.<\/p>   <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CguNMV4MvCa\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe>  <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/COKN6fRLDp5\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe>  <p> Now that you\u2019re buzzing with energy, let\u2019s go grab some breakfast. Some of you may be tempted to skip this, but always remember that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. For this step, you also get a few choices. Stay at\/go to Cafe Younes and enjoy a good avocado bagel for breakfast. Go to <b>Raseef<\/b> and have a classic Lebanese breakfast to spice up your morning. <\/p>  <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CaCWkCusibn\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe>  <p>After getting yourself nice and full, why not go and enjoy some culture. Hamra is littered with gems that are perfect for book lovers. Go and explore their stacks until you find the perfect one for you. We highly recommend <a href=\"\/\/www.beirut.com\/l\/38168&gt;\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">The Little Bookshop<\/a>.<\/p> <p>Now that you\u2019re all booked up, it\u2019s time to go explore Hamra\u2019s streets. Whether you want to admire the street art at every corner or simply just observe people as they go about your day, Hamra is full of rich experiences for you to take in. Plus it\u2019s good exercise.<\/p> <p>On your walk you\u2019re sure to have stumbled across a few hidden gems tucked into the area\u2019s streets. Go in there and have a look around, maybe you\u2019ll find that antique you\u2019ve been yearning for or that special item that\u2019s always out of stock. And if you can\u2019t find them on your own, we&#8217;ll give you some tips. <a href=\"https:\/\/alfurat.com\/posters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Al Furat<\/a> is great for its extensive archive of classic posters.<\/p>  <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CgzUsjHsEfc\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe>  <p> Now it\u2019s time for lunch, and we need to make sure you have a meal worth the journey. We appreciate that people have different tastes, so we\u2019ll cater to whatever craving you\u2019ve got. If you\u2019re feeling a little noodle-y, the newly reopened <b>Chopsticks<\/b> in Crown Plaza could have the meal for you. If you\u2019re feeling traditional, you can\u2019t go wrong with a good old mezza-filled meal at <b>T-Marbouta<\/b>. And if you want to go for a classic, two chicken shawarma sandwiches from <b>Barbar<\/b> will hit the spot.<\/p>  <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cc9yvLpM_dZ\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe>  <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B8RaVF0JObp\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe>  <p> To top it all off, why not get some dessert? <a href=\"<https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/l\/64022>&#8221; target=&#8221;_new&#8221;>Bouza Society<\/a> is the spot we\u2019d recommend until we&#8217;re blue in the face.
