Kazouza sparkling tamarind drink (9 fl. oz., $1.29). This shop was previously Aintab Lahmejune, named for a city in present-day Turkey (now, officially, Gaziantep) and a Levantine flatbread. Until the early 20th century, Aintab reportedly had a sizable population of ethnic Armenians; the foods of their home country are a specialty of Massis. Even so, Kazouza is Lebanese.
