Tel Aviv
“ The best city in the world ! No doubt at all . This city never goes to sleep , never . 24 hours you can find what you are looking for , and even if you don ’ t know what you are actually looking for , you ’ ll find it ”. Tel Aviv is an amazing city anyone can enjoy . Families , singles , the youth and seniors will all find it appealing . As Michal describes , “ on one street there ’ s a place where you can hang out with your kids . Next door , tons of coffee houses and restaurants and an endless variety of bars . The weather is super amazing – humid , yes , but everyone is outside , at the beautiful beaches of Tel-Aviv , sitting at cafes or bars and enjoying the outdoors in various ways , and the city is so alive !” She quickly adds that this feeling about Tel Aviv is also shared by people who are not local . On her
Michal running in the park towards the beach frequent travels abroad , friends in other countries often express enthusiasm about the city “ I ’ m dying to go back there ,” they would say and those who have not yet visited are eager for the opportunity to experience it .
The city is indeed alive ! The nightlife is electric and if you are an outgoing socialite who loves to party , you can do that here at any time of day or night . But you can also find calm if you seek it . Michal usually starts her day at 5:30 am with a jog in Park Hayarkon , running towards the beach , breathing in the clean air , creating the perfect , quiet start to her day . She ’ ll head back home , grab a shower , get the kids off to school then head to a coffee shop before starting her day in earnest .
There are three favorite coffee shops she visits a few times per week . She usually goes there for meetings , to grab a coffee on the way to work , or just to relax with her husband before heading off on their own separate ways for the day . The ambience at
Bucke Café in the heart of Yehuda-Maccabi in the northern part of Tel Aviv is an instant reminder of the funky ‘ New-York style ’ coffee houses .
Reviva and Celia is a posher restaurant-coffee house and fancy level baking factory with unique sweets and special pistachio pie “ to die for ”, and
Juno Wine Bar , although having this ‘ heavy ’ name , is a great coffee house for early morning meetings , brunches and quick takeaway picks . “ This is my regular daily place , at least 4-5 times a week . It comes highly recommended whenever you ’ re in northern Tel Aviv .”
Events
If you ’ re a marathoner , Michal suggests that you visit for the annual Tel Aviv marathon which took place every last Friday in February and will resume post-pandemic . The Jerusalem marathon follows the 2nd Friday of March “ so people can combine between both marathons ,” Michal said .
