Question

Two Syrians named Shemsi and Hekem established one of these places in a city where they were later used as headquarters for an uprising led by Patrona Halil. As thanks for his services as a courier, a possible Armenian spy named Johannes Diodato was permitted to establish one of these places. The low price of admission into these places (-5[1])led to them being nicknamed “penny universities” in England. After enacting (15[1])a law outlawing these places, (*) Murad IV would walk in disguise (10[1])with a large sword to kill any patrons. Using spoils from the Ottoman camp after the 1683 siege of Vienna, Jerzy Kulczycki (“cool-CHIS-kee”) established one of these places in the city. Many of these places relied on an ingredient that had to be imported from the Yemeni (10[1])port of Mocha. For 10 points, name these establishments where patrons can get a beverage made from namesake beans. ■END■
