Edgeware Road
Edgeware road is just off Oxford street and is now well known for its middle eastern residents. For about 2 to 3 blocks there are Lebanese, Egyptian and Persian restaurants, stores, hooka bars, banks and offices. The famous Lebanese restaurant Maroush has several of them on the same street! Most of the restaurants have outside sitting with people eating and smoking the hookas. I had a really nice sharwarma sandwhich at one place then I walked to the Maroush Deli and bought some "atayef" which to those of you who live in Glendale or Orange county might be familiar with is its a pancake like sweet folded in half with either cream or walnuts in the center and fried and with syrup on top. You can buy it at Sarkis Pastry in Glendale. It's really delish and is only served during Ramadan (don't know why cuz it's not a fancy thing) and Ramadan started last thursday. All in all it was a nice day and fantastic weather and after lunch went to Hyde park and sat on a bench in front of the lake called "The Surpentine". Smashing!
About Me

- julie
- I like the feel of sunshine on my shoulders. I have an uncanny sense of smell. I like raw almonds. I can cook practically anything. I crave fritos with jalapeno cheese dip, pizza, and anything BBQ'd. Moved around alot as a child. I dont travel much anymore but I like to explore random places in SoCal. I have an affinity for shiny things but i wear no jewelry. I like the food samples in Costco. When I was young I couldnt whistle. I still cant. I like random conversations with strangers. I love the smell of fresh cut grass. I miss summer vacation as a child. I cant remember phone numbers. I'm still under construction, so I'm subject to change.. I like people who surprise me and those who are predictably comforting. I also like people who can tell me stuff. I love stories.
