FAVORITE PLACES

Argentinean food, as well as pizza and
cheesecake. Most of the restaurants
are kosher and some are located off
small courtyards adjacent to the
street. We often have run into people
we knew from America; the street is a
magnet for tourists and a great spot
to watch people.
One of Israel's wine stores is locat-
ed in the quarter and there is an out-
door jewelry market at the end of the
main street. It's a wonderful spot to
visit on Saturday night, immediately
following Shabbat, located within
walking distance from most major
hotels.
Seeing the hustle and bustle and
the shop owners and restaurateurs
returning to the area, opening shops
and preparing for the onslaught of
visitors, really emphasizes the differ-
ences between the peace and quiet of
Shabbat and the noise of the rest of
the week. Here, you can sense when
Shabbat ends with your eyes, your
ears, and your nose!
Another favorite spot is Nachalat
Binyamin Street in south Tel Aviv,
next to the Carmel market. Each
Tuesday and Friday, the street and
some cross streets become a small ver-
sion of the Ann Arbor street fair, with
many artists from all over Israel dis-
playing their handicrafts.
The street has many sidewalk cafes,
full of sun and Israelis having an
extended lunch, particularly on Fri-
day before Shabbat. There are usually
musical groups from all over the
world performing, great pastry shops
and wonderful smells. We love to
park near the beach and walk the few
blocks to Nachalat Binyamin, have
lunch and people-watch. We also buy
small gifts for our family in Detroit.
The artwork is inexpensive and
colorful and the area has become a
magnet for our children who, when
in Israel, have made it a point to visit
the street and buy gifts.
Following lunch, we stop at the
market for fresh flowers to bring to
relatives or friends with whom we will
share Erev Shabbat. Time permitting,
we stop at the beach and grab a few
rays, sip a Maccabi (beer) and do
more people-watching.
Because traffic slows with the
approaching evening, we are able to
rush back to the hotel, dress and
make dinner. People who travel to
Israel in large groups often miss Tel
Aviv, but it's a fascinating city, full of
life and energy, great beaches and
restaurants, and has a great prome-
nade for walking or running.
