The atmosphere during the day is lazy and shops are operating on a partial crew. The food stands are visited, but not at all busy. This scene is completely opposite at night. People all gather in the Sultanahmet area and the grassy areas are completely covered. Shops and tents are now all open and there is liveliness in the air. With blue and orange glows of the two giant mosques the area is teeming with excitement.
At night a group of us head out to the food stands to try some of the famously sweet Turkish desserts. Each stand is brightly lit and they are all lined up along the gardens and walk ways. People are out with their families to enjoy all the freshly made foods.
