A Bit of Istanbul at Wisconsin & M: Simit & Smith
• July 31, 2016

There is another Turkish delight in town: Simit & Smith, a Turkish bakery and cafe at 1077 Wisconsin Ave. NW.

With locations in New York and New Jersey, the Turkish eatery focuses on street food. The signature menu item is the simit, which is — more or less — a Turkish bagel, a traditional bread eaten throughout the Balkans and the Mediterranean. The cafe offers soups, salads, dürüm (wraps) and döner kebab. There are simit and acma sandwiches as well as antep lahmacum (flatbread) and pizza, coffee and tea and, of course, Turkish delight candies.

Basar Akkuzu, chief executive manager of Georgetown’s Simit and Smith, greeted customers throughout its grand opening week. Also on hand for a special dinner with local guests was Zulfikar Bekar, president and general manager at Simit & Smith in New York City.

Along with the new Lilly Pulitizer clothing store next door, Simet & Smith is bringing new life to a neglected part of a busy corner — and some new, fresh tastes. [gallery ids="102219,130560,130581,130575,130569,130589" nav="thumbs"]
