The Heart of Broummana is Beating Again…
There are certain places in Lebanon that have left a special place in people lives… a small memory while growing up… and Broumana is absolutely one such place. An old time favorite town…Brummana is beautiful for its weather, its view of the capital… its forest and…
Who can forget the times of “Kazdoura” in Broumana, or a quick bite at popular and old time favorite Manhattan restaurant or even the hay days of Printania Palace Hotel… No one... The area may have been silence for a while, but never forgotten…
NoGarlicNoOnions and Souk Al Akl decided to take over the streets of Broumana for a long weekend during Flashback at the Printania Palace Hotel.
I’m flabbergasted…
I have always known that the Lebanese crowd loves life and knows how to live, but as a nation they never seize to amaze me… and thankfully, it’s in a positive way…
For the first time in a long time I hear Broumana’s heartbeat and it's getting stronger by the minute.
Brummana, as its name suggests, is said to mean the house of Rammana, the God of Air, Storm and Thunder. Yes, there’s joy in the air as a thunder of excitement struck everywhere, due to the storm of food, drinks and more that has hit Broumana this weekend.
I am happy… Speechless actually, because no matter what I say it will be enough to give a glimpse of the celebration of life and food being experienced by everyone coming…
While walking through the streets of Souk Al Akel I can feel happiness, I can see smiles… whether old or young… I have seen live proof again of how much we all love life regardless of anything happening. More than 10,000 persons showed un on Thursday, another dozen thousand visited Friday and the weekend didn't even start yet; A record!
Looking at people’s faces, as they taste various bites, enjoying the new innovations some street food vendors have to offer… is worth more than I can ever imagine…
The smell of burgers being prepared, the cold sound of beer being poured, the crinkle of cookies being tasted, the refreshing taste of ice cream served with cotton candy, the grilling joys of traditional barbeques, the crunch of curly fries, the spicy eruption of lahme beajine, the zesty sensation of Afandello mojitos, refreshing cocktails… the list is endless.
Thank you for joining us... thank you for making it happen.
Are you drooling yet? What are you waiting for then… The weekend has just started…
