Hookah pipes have been around for hundreds of years. In the early 17th century, hookah pipes were often seen in coffee shops or small restaurants along the streets of Turkey and other Middle Eastern countries. Since then the world of Hookah smoking has greatly expanded. Although we are unsure of the true origin of the water pipe, it is believed that the original design for the hookah came from India or Persia. It was in Turkey that the water pipe completed its revolution and has hardly changed its style for the last few hundred years. The Turkish people were the first to make smoking water pipes a common practice and soon discovered that it could be used in a more convenient way. So, around 500 years ago, they reshaped the design and added a hose.
The hookah, also referred to as a narghile or narghila, shisha or sheesha, water-pipe, and hubbly-bubbly, is a seemingly unbreakable social habit & is growing in popularity. The passing of the hose is remarkable - a hookah is placed in the center of a group and smokers pass the hose to the next in the circle, all the while exchanging words and sharing ideas in a playful mode. It is known to bring people together and to bring peace to any place in which it is used in its natural state of relaxation.
In the United States, where everything has become so fast paced that people rarely have time to socialize with family or friends, it certainly contributes to the hookah smoker's integration in his or her social environment in a brotherly peaceful act of solidarity. Hookah bars are becoming a gathering spot to have a cocktail, glass of wine, coffee or tea.
NARA Lounge brings this cultural experience to the heart of Federal Hill. You’ll be transported to another world, with our Lebanese hip-hop, French pop, & gypsy strains, along with soothing sounds of the bubbling water in the decorative glass vases.
