Tel Aviv Port



Tel Aviv is Israel’s most lively and cosmopolitan city in the entire country.  The locals consider it there own little NYC, in that it has a booming night life, a lot of traffic, and bustling energy at all hours.  The majority of the streets are lined with large palm trees and other tropical vegetation, which gives it a true “beach town” feel.  Though not as historic or unique as Jerusalem Tel Aviv has much to offer and really is a fascinating city.

Thomas and I were already in Tel-Aviv sometime last week for an appointment when we decided to head to the beach as the sun was near setting. We drove to the northern end of the shoreline and parked right outside the beautiful boardwalk and market that borders Tel Aviv’s port. Along the boardwalk were once abandoned warehouses that have now been transformed into upscale restaurants, cafes, and shops. Our evening at the Tel Aviv port consisted of snapping sunset pictures, walking the boardwalk, window shopping, eating a delightful seafood meal, and of course treating our selves to some ice cream all along on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea!

 Market at the end of the boardwalk: Fresh produce, meat/poultry, restaurants, and much more!



  Outdoor dinning in November: Thomas had a BIG JUICY hamburger with chips (what we call fries) and I had Dennis (a local fish) with yummy glazed sweet potatoes and salad!
