Beirut Souks
Great for shipping and has a lot of food options as well.
Sightseeing
Amazing grotto, a must see if you have the time. I would recommend going early morning (they are closed on Mondays) and then heading to Byblos area, the oldest City in the world! There are a lot of restaurants and pubs there, and it is a beautiful stroll through the old town amid all the ruins.

The oldest City in the world, and one of my personal favorites. Take a stroll amid the old town, do some local shopping and fill your tummies with delicious food and drinks. I would recommend Laconda restaurant for a Lebanese fusion.

Some of the old ruins are found in the area, along with newer architecture.

Food Scene
The all-time Lebanese people's favorite American diner. Would recommend trying it for a break from Lebanese food (which, to be honest, you never need a break from :D )

You have to try Barbar before leaving Beirut, you may even get addicted to it! It is Lebanese fast food.
I would recommend you try:
Chicken Shawarma
Falafel
Pies: great for breakfast, my favorites are cheese pies and Thyme (Zaatar) and Labneh. They are called "Manoushe" in Arabic.
They are open 24/7

Great Lebanese Cafe, located in Zeituna Bay, which has amazing views on the water. You will see Yachts parked there and can take a nice stroll by them.

Parks & Nature
A nice beachfront area with many restaurants and coffee shops. Would not recommend thin healed shoes, as the flooring is wooden with gaps in between the tiles.
