About: Istanbul Food Odyssey
Best food tour I've ever done
The köfte shop had photos from the 1930s. The Turkish coffee reading at the end was a lovely touch.

About: Istanbul: Between Empires
He still managed to teach me new things about Ottoman history. And the baklava was the best I've ever had.
David, you kept me on my toes! Come back anytime — more baklava awaits.
