One of my favorite things about Beirut is every restaurant delivers. From the ice cream stand to Krispy Kreme, from traditional schwarma stands to sushi restaurants to Applebees, they will all have your food at your door in about 20 minutes. I'm always impressed that they can even get it here that fast, but I guess that's what a small fleet of mopeds will do for you.

My friends and I added up all of the take-away menus we had in our rooms (nearly all restaurants have them) and we have over 50. That's right, 50 different restaurants we can call to have any food, drink, or dessert brought to our doorstep. Most restaurants are open to at least 10, and many into the a.m. hours. No wonder the Lebanese say that Americans gain weight when they come to Lebanon!
