Simit! Simit!
On every street, every corner you can get fresh crunchy simit, sesame seed rings. This man carries a hundred of them and sells them on the Uzunçarsi Caddesi ("Longmarket Street") that connects the higher positioned Covered Bazaar (Grand Bazaar) with Istanbul's Egyptian Bazaar (Spice Market).
