Nisantası where the well-heeled shopper meets the expense-account lunch is also a short stroll from the more overtly residential districts of Tesvikiye or Macka. Though many of the more elegant flats house professional and their practices rather than families, the back streets and arcades with their pastry shops. Sushi joist and decent fishmongers. still cater to a discerning gentility.
