I reckon that lots of you go out in Taksim/Beoglu, sometimes get drunk and then walk over Istiklal on a saturday night to get to Taksim square.
Please be carefull when you do that. A friend of mine works at a language school and one of her colleagues got assaulted and seriously harrassed yesterday night on Istiklal. Don't know the exact circumstances but she said he was a quiet, reasonable guy who seemed to have his senses together.
The poor lad is now in hospital, seriously injured.
Be carefull!

Any foreign person seen noticeably intoxicated late at night on Istiklal or around that area is asking for trouble! Some thieves and muggers are on the look out for them.

Istiklal Cadessi may look upmarket but just a few meters off it the conditions are Dickensian ! Some unsavoury characters around there too !
