old view

my roomate coco was invited to a jordanian family's house for eid (holiday after ramadan) last night and they served her tons of coffee. she returned home with enough energy to take over the world. she was up for going out, so we did. we were all also pretty curious to see what jordan was like in the evenings during the eid holiday. we hopped on over to rainbow street. there was terrible traffic getting there, but we made it. went to old view cafe and restaurant, which is this restaurant that boasts a quiet and gorgeous view of amman. it was nice relaxing, soaking in the beautiful nightscape, and eating hummus and manaeesh (i think that's what it's called). the waiter described it as "arabic pizza".

old view during the day time.



this gem of a place is 3-stories. upon emerging from the top flight of stairs, this is what you see.
