Merging east and west, mosques and modernism, traditional foods and trendy cocktails, the city delights with all its compelling contrasts<\/h2>\n

Much of the expat community prowls the leafy waterfront districts of Kuru\u00e7esme and Bebek. Lined with mansions perched over the Bosporus, the neighborhoods feature low-key but high-style retail options and casual, almost beachy restaurants.<\/p>\n

Inland is the boutique-dense Ni\u015fanta\u015f\u0131, considered to be the most European shopping area and often compared to Paris’s Saint-Germain. Turkish brand Vakko has several stores here, as does the retail temple Beymen, a posh purveyor of international fashion that also has an extensive home store.<\/p>\n

In the past few years, the once seriously derelict Akaretler Row, a run of neoclassical townhouses built in the 1870s in the Be\u015fikta\u015f neighborhood for the officials of nearby Dol\u00admabah\u00e7e Palace, has been reborn with dozens of white-hot luxury boutiques. There is also a new W Hotel with an outpost of Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Spice Market restaurant.<\/p>\n

While Turkish food writer Osman Serim appreciates the arrival of global chefs, he also hopes that visitors will seek out dining experiences that can only be had in Istanbul. He recommends visiting pudding shops such as Saray for traditional sweets and baklava, or taking a ferry across the Bosporus to the Asian side for what he promises will be the most memorable seafood meal of your life. “The view is like nothing else in the world\u2014and the same goes for the seafood. Istanbul has such a wealth of places that you can always find exactly what you feel like.” Just as at the Grand Bazaar, in Istanbul you can have it all.<\/p>\n

Where To Eat<\/h3>\n

Lucca, Cevdet Pa\u015fa Caddesi 51B, Bebek, +90-212-257-1255; Burgers and scrumptious pastas from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. at the de facto clubhouse for Bebek’s smart set.<\/p>\n
