Beirut

The NY Times has an article on their website today that recommends the top 44 places to visit in 2009, and to my surprise and I might add excitement, Beirut TOPS the list at #1. It's really good to have Lebanon and Beirut in particular back on the international list of cities to visit and enjoy. You can filter your choices more by categories and Beirut is recommended for Luxury, Foodie and Party. This is great! I recommend you read the article and I have provided a link below.
