Hunt, I am headed to Istanbul on Sunday for 5 nights. I have our itinerary pretty well mapped out, and could use some restaurant recommendations. We are staying at Sirkeci Mansion near Sultanahmet, but would love to avoid the usual touristy haunts that guide books recommend. We are two women, so prefer to dine fairly close to our accommodations so as to avoid cabs. Any suggestions?
