What is Istanbul doing this week? (16-22 January)

1 - Monday

The weekend is over, but I haven't adapted, so if you want to go somewhere and have a drink and listen to some good music, I suggest dentro karaköy. The food at the venue, which opened its doors last week, is also delicious. You should especially try crispy Uzbek Dumplings. (Price 23TL) It is open every day of the week between 10.00 – 04.00.
