A rainy day brings joy for those who love the refreshing season, even if the weather conditions are not exactly idyllic for an outing. They opt to stay home and enjoy it with a book in bed.
However, rain or no rain, we Lebanese need to go out and enjoy life the best possible. And let’s admit it, there is a subtle thrill that comes with cozying up in a coffee shop or gathering for a drink or a meal at a restaurant at the sound of the rain outside.
