Levinsky Market is a<br />
wonderful place for<br />
lunch, with vendors<br />
selling bread, smoked<br />
fi sh, olives, cheese<br />
and boureka pastries<br />

womenswear and a bit of menswear too.<br />
■ 16:00 If Gan Hahashmal is up and coming,<br />
Neve Tzedek up and came. This is one of Tel<br />
Aviv’s oldest neighbourhoods – many of its<br />
buildings are from the Ottoman era, and<br />
they house little apartments, fantastic<br />
restaurants and lovely boutiques. My top<br />
haunt here is a raw-food store called Neroli<br />
(23 Shabazi Street) – it serves the most<br />
delicious smoothies and shakes. At the end<br />

of Neve Tzedek is the Tachana complex<br />
(hatachana.co.il), an old train station that’s<br />
been turned into an open-air shopping mall.<br />
I’m ambivalent about this place, but they<br />
have a organic food market every Friday,<br />
which I heartily recommend.<br />
■ 18:30 At sunset, the only place to be in Tel<br />
Aviv is the beach. The coast is west facing,<br />
so the sun sets into the sea – beautiful.<br />
My favourite place to watch it is the Manta<br />
Ray beach café on Alma Beach (tel. +972<br />

■ 20:00 Lilenblum Street is a centre for<br />
nightlife and local celebrity chef Eyal Shani<br />
has a restaurant here, Tzfon Abraxas (40<br />
Lilenblum Street, tel. +972 (0)3 510 4435).<br />
A little eccentric, Shani does interesting<br />
things with good Israeli ingredients – his<br />
food is simple but very surprising. You can<br />
then move on to the adjacent lively bar,<br />
Abraxas, for an after-dinner drink.<br />
