"Hafteh Bazaar" means something like "Weekly Market." This is a free paper which consists only of advertisements, from both individuals and businesses highlighting current sales. Mostly it is available in piles next to the doors of Persian markets and restaurants, but there are so many Iranians as part of the foot traffic here that it must be worth the investment in a rack. There is one on the other side of the street as well.
