What shall I have for lunch?

The owner suggested Karma for a great meat choice for lunch. I had the game hen and my boss had the kebab. It was all vey good and the service was very fast and friendly. There are many other choices in this town and remember on Friday evening and all day Saturday it is hard to get a table here in this city whose population and traffic triple for the weekend from Jerusalmites getting out for a nice meal on a weekend.

Where can I empty my wallet?

There are a handful of local artists with their art and jewelery and judaica on the city's main streets. If you want you can make it to Jerusalem for the new Mamilla Mall in the shadow f the ancient Jaffa Gate. You can also simply walk through the Jaffa GAte and be transferred to another time. The ancient streets reveal the arab bazaar and the christian quarter. You can find everything here from magic carpets to cosses and judaica side by side. Haggling is the thing to do here. Be realistic and ready to buy and you can manage a great savings here. Be serious and ready to buy. It is considered rude to haggle and then not buy. It is an art and you can have fun while bringing back gifts for your friends and familes.

Arts and Entertainment?

You can see Yad Vashem Museum. It is a difficult and emotional walk into the past and the present history of Jews and the nation of Israel. It will leave you mistified and awe struck the things we go through as  a nation, a people and that human beings can treat each other in such a way and still endure.

Let's Get Practical

There is an Egged bus into the city center of Jerusalem and it runs about every 30 minutes during the day and less at night. It does not run on Friday evening or on Shabbat day. You will need a car if you plan on leaving this city for other sites and travels in the country. Cabs can be called but are not a frequent sight on the street. This is a tzimmer. You can stay here for the whole period and just relax or rent a car and relax here and go see the country.
