Tel Aviv Is Alive and Well

August 8, 2006 - 11:25 AM by

Think that Tel Avivians are huddled home, afraid of Nasrallah’s threats? Think again. It’s really the city that never sleeps — Tel Aviv residents love to go out, hate to stay in. Here is a crowd at arguably the most popular late night location in the city — right at the entrance to Jaffa.

Ernest, one of the most unique folks blogging in English from Israel — he’s a non-Jewish Filipino working as some kind of economic attache — went to check it out.

The area was alive with many still open (many for 24 hours) food and convenience stores, all with their colorful neon signs that seemingly make them more attractive to customers. A landmark store is the Abulafia, the most popular bread shop this side of Israel and one of the oldest food store. Even at night, the Abulafia staff is busy serving the numerous customers eager to buy their favorite treat – pita, bagel, sweet bread and other food products. My favorite buy at Abulafia is their Middle East style pizza, which at 10 shekkels is an inexpensive but really delightful treat for me.
