The Scene A broad silver sign with small, glowing ember-like letters provides an apt first impression of this peaceful smoking lounge. Dimly lit and constantly bustling, the sultry, Middle Eastern-accented interior reflects the origins of its namesake. Tables, positioned low to the ground, stand atop oriental rugs and are surrounded by oversized pillows. Patrons place drink orders and rent hookahs from the bartender before finding an open table in one of the two curtained-off sitting rooms. The Draw The harmonious mixture of flavored tobacco, drinks and fellowship attracts a diverse crowd. Groups of four or five are common, faithfully taking turns smoking from the snake-like hose of the water pipe centered on the table. The bar offers traditional fruit-flavored tobacco like apricot, strawberry and coconut, as well as creative blends like the Pink Panther, a house favorite. If hunger hits, ask for the menu listing a handful of tasty and conveniently sized Mediterranean snacks.
