Green Zone Cafe: Great food & drink

This place was bombed about a year ago, but is back in business with much tighter security. The food is great (I'm a big fan of the couscous) with pizza, sandwiches, fish (pick your fish out of a big pool on premises), Middle Eastern, etc.

I was there a few months back and had a great time. Like all things in Baghdad, though, it is sort of a "go at your own risk" type place. Definitely my favorite night spot in Baghdad... actually it is the only one I am familiar with!

Oh, and very reasonable. Dinner should run from $5-10 and a beer is something like $2.

Dress Code: None... Don't bring in weapons, though.

I find that under the bed or in the bath is the best nightlife spot in Baghdad. Sandbags and two layers of 3/8 steel with a two inch air gape works well on windows.

Dress Code: Anything in kevlar with a trauma plate back and front

Downtown at night, Baghdad

It was nice to have a walk in that square at night at that time.
I don't think it would be a good idea now...
I keep my fingers crossed...

Night time is Army time. The US Army owns the night. The Army has unparalled ability to see and manouver in the darkness.

Dress Code: BCU, knee pads, boots, workout gloves, helmet, nodes, weapons of choice.
