Tonight we venture out again to play our numbers game. Efes 2, the Turkish restaurant with belly dancing EVERY night of the week, won out. We opted for a Friday as somehow indulging in Monday or midweek midrift seemed a bit wrong.
We've also extended an invitation to friends this time, safety in numbers after all (boom booom). Accompanying us is a selection of sophisticated taste buds from London and Cheshire, including the couple responsible for starting this shenanigans in the first place. So hoping the evening lives up to the expectation of silly fun and doesn't fall flat on its face in a deserted basement in the no man's land just South of Great Portland Street.
Having noticed another building brandishing the name Efes recently in Dalston, (http://thedalstonhowl.wordpress.com/photoblog/efes/) thought I'd do well to actually look up the meaning... Lo it's the Turkish name for the ancient Greek city Ephesus, as well as an established Turkish beer brewer who sponsor a (the?) basketball team in Istanbul. It is also, somewhat ironically, the Hebrew numeral for 'zero'. I think this information could prove important in future crossword completions.
