Oriental cafe life in the East as seen by a New York Herald correspondent
William T Ellis tours an Oriental cafe scene describing meat roasted on spits, yaourt, sesame bread, pilaf and kebabs, the social chatter at sidewalk tables, the mix of languages, and the appeal of cinema and tea houses. He notes politeness, talk culture, and contrasts with Western manners amid bustling vendors, coffee, and hubble bubble pipes.
