"Lebanese flatbreads known as manaeesh are the specialty at Forn Al Hara, a savory bakery with daily operating hours that span from breakfast to dinner. This counter service eatery fires up manaeesh requests to order in a wood-burning oven, so call ahead or expect a wait. If you can’t make up your mind, ask owner Mo (short for Mohammad) Alam to guide you through the menu of mostly meatless options with combinations of za’atar, labneh, spinach, and cheese. Order mini-sized portions to experience more flavors, beginning with the zesty za’atar. Nosh on the pickles and olives included with the flatbreads in between bites. Bonus: A pastry display at the register silently suggests a sweet escape when munching through the manaeesh. — Anne Marie Panoringan" - Joshua Lurie, Anne Marie Panoringan
