Night Life In Tel Aviv

tlv3 tlv8 tlv14

An Incredibly vibrant nightlife scene has a lot to do with Tel Aviv’s Reputation as the city that never sleep. Forget everything you’ve heard - the legend of Tel Aviv’s nightlife is only a sneak preview of the real thing. An Entertainment superpower with dozens of pubs, bars, music and dance clubs that roar until sunrise. Tel Aviv is a magnet for clubbers and merrymakers from all over the country. The city’s nightlife scene provides a crossing array of choices to suit almost any taste of desire.

Tel Aviv is all about clubs. You can choose between the British DJ Sinden or the Dutch DG Armin Van Buuren, And of course toss of the names of some local DeeJays that have made it big internationally, Like Infected Mushroom, The Flash Brothers, Offer Nissim, Skazi and many more.

They spin old school house, Chill-Out, Deep House, Funky House and Rip Trance. This wide range has no real unifying line - of the country, anything goes. Trendsetters among the clubs include Dado, The Breakfast Club, Maxim and Barzilai. The big venues, with crowded lines of entry-seekers sporting minis, tattoos and lots of muscles mainly of the weekends (Which, by the way, start on Thursday night a big way) include HaOman 17, Dome and Vox.

All of which are noted for their state-of-the-art sound, lighting and video systems. Chill-out rooms with comfy sofas and excellent kitchens. Musical diversity and the desire to improve service have given rise to a new phenomenon-bar with live DJs. True, these are small places, nothing like the floor space of Haoman 17, for instance, but they are competing to offer something extra, not just another DVD. If you don’t invest in your place, you don’t exist - a Tel Aviv law of survival that proves itself night after night. Thus, bars become architectural creations worth taking a look at over the rim of your glass.

There are pick-up bars such as Blaumilch for the yuppie set, and murkier Venuses like Abraxas for those whose think they’re in the know, It doesn’t matter about what. And there are warmer scenes like Madome, with its white walls in on Old Tel Aviv Building. Dance-Bars, with superb sound systems and dance floors, are great for groups of friends ? Some good ones are a place from the movies, the country’s only dance-bar catering to the religiously Observant, and the popular Weinstock.

Jazz rhythms dominate at Mike’s Place on the promenade, offering sea breezes along with nightly jam sessions. And then there’s the Bar-Restaurant scene, mostly centered in the Rothschild Boulevard area. Some good choices are Ninotchka, Featuring Georgian cuisine, Brown, serving tortillas and some of the best Burgers in town, And Avita, favored by the gay community. Pubs, many of which are Irish-Themed like Molly Bloom’s, with its own-in-house mini-brewery, has a decidedly European flavor. Some cafes keep the decibel-level-and the lights law, to become etched forever in your romantic memory.

These include Tazza d’Oro, on the fringes of Neve Tzedek, with a charming European atmosphere, And Bistro Central, which overlooks Rothschild Boulevard from the terrace of a gorgeous Electric-Style building. You can find a sea view at Badolina, a kosher Cafe in the Tel Aviv Port, or a romantic corner in a beautifully Candlelit Nana, in Neve Tzedek. Sweet Sins, in the downtown area, will tempt you with yummy cakes and pastries baked on the premises, While at Cafe Basel, in the city’s upscale north, you can catch all of fashionable Tel Aviv parade by.
We’ll take a double espresso with hot milk, please.

Jaffa - The Old City and the Port

jaffa

Old Jaffa is one of the most attractive places to tour in Tel Aviv-Jaffa. The city which has always been the entry to the ancient land of Israel is succeeding, even today, its traditional aromas and fragrances which have always characterized it: beautiful stone buildings, narrow, winding alleys, a fishermen?s port, artists? quarter, cafés s, restaurants and shops.

In Jaffa there are ancient churches, which are among the most beautiful in Israel, serving the city’s Christian community, with open doors for visitors and the faithful.

It is recommended walk to Jaffa along the Tel Aviv Promenade, which begins in North Tel Aviv and ends at the Jaffa Port. On the way, you pass the skyscrapers of the business center of South Tel Aviv and then you reach Old Jaffa. Like using a magic wand, moving from modern Israel to the magical Israel of bygone times, with city walls and stone buildings with arches. Instead of bustling, crowded streets there are narrow alleys and stone steps. In the center of the activity is the Clock Square, where can be found the Clock Tower built by the Turkish Sultan Abed-el-Hamid II in 1906. This is the traditional starting point for tours of Jaffa.
