During this time, Gibran showcased some of his paintings at the prestigious Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. Fellow Lebanese-American writer Amin Rihani also became one of his closest friends and literary supporters. New York’s trendy, artsy reputation attracted a vibrant creative community, with individuals supporting each other in realising their artistic visions. Haskell generously offered Gibran a USD5,000 stipend to help him move to New York City in 1911, where he lived in Greenwich Village and swiftly befriended many artistic figures in the area. At the time, the city was also the heartbeat of the Arabic literary scene. In a letter to Mary Elizabeth Haskell sent shortly after his relocation to New York, he writes: “I run through the streets of this gigantic city [New York], and so many little shadows run after me. I gaze with [a] thousand eyes and listen with [a] thousand ears all through the day; and when I come home late at night I find more things to gaze at and more voices to listen to.” Gibran was held in high regard in this circuit and invitations were often sent his way for him to regale his brilliance with an admiring crowd. For instance, he was regularly welcomed to attend the exclusive literary salons in Manhattan hosted by Mary Khoury, a thriving Lebanese-American entrepreneur. Corinne Roosevelt Robinson, sister of the US President Theodore Roosevelt, extended invitations for him to recite his works at her New York residence. Also, Julia Ellsworth Ford, an affluent New York socialite and passionate arts patron, frequently invited Gibran to her salons, affording him the chance to interact with luminaries like the poet Ezra Pound and actor Charlie Chaplin. In 1913, the Al-Funun Arabic newspaper was founded in New York City, which served as a platform for many Arabic writers to contribute their works. Shortly after, Gibran’s early collection of fifty-six columns were collected and published as “Dam’a wa ibtisamah” in 1914 and translated to English as “A Tear and a Smile” in 1950. His book explored the ebb and flow of emotions between joy and sorrow. For instance, in “A Lover’s Call”, Gibran describes

an ethereal being who evokes in him a boundless, serene feeling of love – interspersed in ephemeral moments, such as walking amidst nature trails, consoling a traveller sailing away from his homeland, or breathing words of comfort to the needy. As his works garnered attention, the young publisher Alfred A. Knopf became Gibran’s official English publisher. His magnum opus “The Prophet”, published in 1923, became one of the ten most translated books in history. In his honour, the Gibran Khalil Gibran Promenade, formally unveiled on 26 September 2017, graces the Parisian landscape at 26 Quai André Citroën. Satiating the appetites for the trendy, culinary connoisseurs for something beyond the usual is where Arab cuisines make a show to impress with artisanal finesse. Today, many glitzy dining establishments offer beguiling Arabic dishes that are considered elemental in their menus, such as mezzes. Nestled within the very chic neighbourhood of Chelsea in London, the Villa Mamas restaurant is markedly signposted by its iconic turquoise paneled windows and pastel pink shade. Chef Roaya Saleh’s vivacious spirit is immediately reflected in her menu, inspired primarily by traditional Bahraini and Gulf cuisine. The colourful spread of delicacies whispers indulgence and highlights include the Chicken Machbous, Halibut with herbed rice,
