Manhatten, Places To Buy Shisha?

[shaffaaf27]

so going to central manhattten, and was wondering are there places to buy shisha from, sepcifically tangiers. also are there hookah bars where there is halal food, and infact any shops for halah fast food/restraunts?

Have someone take you to Steinway in Queens. It's not too far outside of Manhattan, maybe 15 minutes.

The lounges there are great, and there is good halal food there as well.

I don't know of any places that sell Tangiers.

My recommendation for halal food:
-Kabul Kabob in Queens. then you won't be too far form a lounge
-Platters/Chicken and Rice on 53rd and 6th in Manhattan, then head over to Queens for shisha.

Enjoy!

There are two lounges on Long Island (not at all difficult to get to from manhatten via the long island railroad) that serve tangiers. Unfortunately I don't remember either of their names...

What's Halal food?

[momatik]

When people say Halal restaurants, they are most commonly referring to meat, because it has to be prepared in accordance to Islamic teaching.

To simplify it, the animal is killed in what we believe to be the most humane manner, and the animal is killed in the name of God. Edited September 22, 2009 by momatik

How long are you going to be in Manhattan? I would personally recommend ordering a shit load of Tangiers from an online vendor using free shipping and then bring that backk to the UK <3

Huh.. never heard of it. Me, I prefer the animal to be killed and cooked in a way that doesn't kill me.

Right. Halal or Zabihah Halal in Islam only refers to how you kill the animal. Cooking is all up to the chef.

Aren't they both by whorestra?

In the General area. One is called Fire and Ice. Terrible place... They have carpet in there with hookahs on there. No fire exit and a sweet set up of rockband so you can play when you smoke hookah.


Nice recipe for DEATH when your smashing on the drums smoking hookah and you knock over your coals on the carpet and you have all those teeny boppers scream crowding the front door.

Ugh I hate that place.

I lol'd so hard, what a terrible idea for a lounge.

San Diego isn't in LA, its a separate city a couple hours south (depending on what part of LA's geography you are starting from).

Most of the NYC hookah places (shops/bars) are run by indian/arabs guys thus most of their stuff is arab/indian in origin. Very tough to find American brands of tobacco out here, mostly because these guys have an idea of what hookah "should be" and that unfortunately doesn't include anything invented in the last 15 years.

But on the plus side: Steinway rocks. I'd recommend Middle Eastern Nights. Great food, cheap, good Nakhla smoked out of traditional Egyptian pipes. Its the closest I've come to being back in Egypt.
