Hi Rani,
Your selection of things to do and see seem very much in the line of what i'm looking for in Beirut. I am a Amsterdam restaurant owner (restaurant Marius) and I am closing the restaurant for the whole summer to travel in the Middle East. My schedule now is to arrive in Beirut around July 3 or 4, and I'd love to meet you and make a little list while having lunch and a drink or two. Obviously the restaurant and bar scene interests me but also the art and music , markets and mothers who cook their old recipes.
