Lapho uku-Israel, Thenga

E-Tel Aviv kanye ne-Jaffa engumakhelwane, abaklami namaciko bavuselela izindawo ezihlala abantu abadala, bavula izitolo ezincane ukuze zinikeze amakhasimende aqaphelayo umsebenzi wabo wokuqala ongcono kakhulu.

Okunye kwakho kungenziwa ngengoma; ezinye izingcezu ziyabiza kodwa zingabhekwa njengezokutshalwa kwezimali.

Nawu umhlahlandlela okuvunywa ukuthi awuphelele wokuthenga idolobha:

Ungakwazi ukuzulazula amahora amaningi emigwaqweni emincane, emazombezombe yalezi zindawo zedolobha elidala, ume ukuze ubuke izicathulo ezenziwe ngezandla, ubucwebe obuyingqayizivele nokuma ikhefu le-cappuccino kwelinye lamakhefi amaningi.

IGan Hachasmal, okuyikhaya lesakhiwo sokuqala sikagesi kuleli, yake yagcwala izifebe futhi kwabonakala sengathi isize yadiliza izakhiwo. Eminyakeni emithathu edlule, abaklami abasebasha bathuthela, bekhangwa amarenti angabizi.

U-Orna Rothman, usomabhizinisi wasebhange oyimfashini wakwa-Israel, uthenga izingubo zakhe eziningi endaweni.

“Izinga lihle futhi ngiyathanda ukweseka abasiki bengqephu,” usho kanje.

Okuphawuleka kakhulu yiSigal (55 Shabazy St.) yobucwebe bezandla; I-Kissim (8 Hashmal St.) yesikhumba nezikhwama zendwangu (kuhlanganise nesisodwa esifakwe ku-

ifilimu); I-Shanibar (151 Dizengoff St.) yezicathulo namabhuzu; Izesekeli ze-Ruby Star (28 Levontin St.) zobucwebe basendle, obujabulisayo namabhande; kanye noFrau Blau (8 Hahasmal) wezingubo zabesifazane.

Igalari ye-Ceramics ye-Shlush Shloshim (30 Shlush St.) iyinhlangano yabadwebi be-ceramics base-Israeli egcwele umsebenzi ophilayo, othokozisayo.

Akuzona zonke izitolo zasekuqaleni kule ndawo ezivaliwe. I-Kapash Gems, esebhizinisini iminyaka engu-35, isathengisa ubuhlalu kubaklami emhlabeni jikelele. Umnikazi uJacob Kapash uthi ukujabulele ukuvuselelwa endaweni.

Uma ukuthenga sekukhathele, bhukha i-aphoyintimenti ePlanet Spa (Suzanne Dalal Center, Neve Tzedek). Ngeminikelo efana ne-Moroccan Detox kanye ne-massage yase-Thai, izinyawo zakho ezibuhlungu kanye nesikhwama semali esiphelile kuzolibaleka maduze.

Kukhona futhi igalari yobuciko. Enye yezinto ezithakazelisa kakhulu ku-Jaffa eka-Ilana Goor, umculi ogqamile nomqoqi. Eminyakeni edlule, wathenga isakhiwo esiyingqopha-mlando manje esigcina iqoqo lakhe nalapho esahlala khona efulethini elihlukile.

Le nsizwa eneminyaka engu-71 ubudala igcwalise isakhiwo esiwumhume ngeqoqo le-eclectic lobuciko besimanje babaculi abancane, umsebenzi wakhe kanye nenani elimangalisayo lezithombe zakhe ezikhiqizwe abanye abaculi.

Amaciko amukelekile ukuthi ahlale endlini yezihambeli, ecabanga ukuthi u-Goor ukhiphe isimemo. Umlingisi uRobert De Niro ulale egumbini elincane.

Ukubuka okuvela engadini yezithombe eziqoshiwe ophahleni kuwufanele uhambo lodwa.

Isitolo sezipho sigcwele izinto eziklanywe nguGoor.

Imakethe evulekile igcwele izithelo, amakhekhe, izimbali, izingubo zokugqoka, izinongo namaswidi. Kuphinde kube nzima kubantu, ikakhulukazi uma uthenga ngoLwesihlanu ntambama ngaphambi kokuqala kweSabatha.

Abantu badonsa izikhwama zokuthenga ezinamasondo ezigcwele ukudla okusha, bame njalo ukuze bavakashele emgwaqweni omncane.

Akudingekile ukuthi uthenge noma yini ikakhulukazi ukuze ujabulele umsindo kanye nephunga, kodwa cishe akunakwenzeka ukumelana nokubamba i-pretzel entsha noma ubhasikidi wama-strawberries amnandi, amasha.

Ngeke uthole izimpahla zomklami wangempela lapha ngaphandle uma ubala ukudla okukhiqizwa abantu abasemuva kwezitolo.

Lena indawo enhle yokuhamba ngezinyawo, ikakhulukazi ngoLwesibili nangoLwesihlanu, lapho izingcweti zezandla zimisa amatafula ukuze zithengise izinto zazo ezenziwe ngezandla.

Kukhona amadili amahle kumacici ayingqayizivele, imigexo namasongo.

Lena futhi indawo ekahle yokuthenga e-Judaica.

Njengezindawo eziningi kwa-Israel, lindela ukuma futhi uhlole izikhwama zakho ngabasebenzi bezokuphepha ngaphambi kokuba uvunyelwe ukuzulazula ngokukhululeka.

Yize iJaffa ike yaba idolobha layo elihlukile, empeleni seligwinywe yiTel Aviv.

Eminyakeni emithathu edlule, imakethe ye-flea iye yavuselelwa futhi, ngezinga elithile, yahlanzwa. UPuaa Ladizinsky, umnikazi wendawo yokudlela yasePuaa, wamukela umoya wendawo ngokunikela ngayo yonke into esendaweni yakhe ukuze ithengiswe.

"Uyadla la, uyalithanda ipuleti, ungaliyisa ekhaya," esho ephakamisa amahlombe.

Imakethe ivulwa kuze kube phakathi kwamabili, inikeze abazingeli bezitolo ithuba lokuxoxisana ngayo yonke into kusukela kufenisha yakudala yakudala kuya kumabhasi akwa-Elvis Presley.

Yindawo ene-surreal, enabanikazi bezitolo abaningi abazimisele kakhulu ukubhema ugwayi nokuvakashelana kunokuthengisa.

Noma kunjalo, imigwaqo emincane igcwele ubucwebe obushibhile, izikhafu nezingubo, konke kuseseshini yokuhwebelana.

"Le yindawo yokugcina enenani leshekeli," kusho uLadizinsky.

Nakuba ungase ukwazi ukuthola ukudla okubi e-Tel Aviv, kuzodingeka ube neshwa elimangalisayo.

Ngezithako ezintsha, uthando oluzinikele lokupheka nokuzimisela ukondla izivakashi kahle futhi ngaphezu kokwanele, abanikazi bezindawo zokudlela nezitolo zokudla banikela ngokudla okuphambili noma yikuphi.

Ngokudla okushibhile, usohambeni ngenkathi uyothenga, zama noma yisiphi isitendi se-falafel noma ijoyinti le-shawarma. I-Shawarma iyi-pita noma isinkwa esiyisicaba esifakwe inyama, i-hummus, utamatisi kanye nekhukhamba, futhi ngokuvamile i-tahini. Kungcolile futhi kuyamangalisa.

Ngokunye ukudla okungabizi eJaffa, kwehla uDkt. I-Shakshuka, lapho umnikazi omkhulu nojabule, u-Bino Gabso, epheka isitshulu sendabuko sikatamatisi namaqanda. Indawo yakhe yokudlela ejwayele ukugcwala abantu bendawo, amasosha kanye nezivakashi.

Kodwa izindawo ezijabulisayo njengechweba laseTel Aviv nazo zigcwele izindawo zokudlela ezithokozisayo, imvamisa ngaphambi kokuthi amabha endawo aqale ukugcwala phakathi kwamabili.

Abantu abafuna ukuthatha i-Israel kancane baye nayo ekhaya ukuze baziphekele bazoma ngo-liveO (21 Rothschild Blvd.) ukuze bathole ukunambitha amafutha omnqumo.

Ama-Foodies azokwazi ukusho umehluko phakathi kwamafutha ahlukene futhi azimisele ukubeka engozini ukupakisha ibhodlela noma amabili emapotimendeni abo.

Futhi, kunenqwaba yezindawo zokudlela ezisezingeni eliphezulu, ikakhulukazi indawo yokudlela yase-Comme Il Faut engaselwandle e-Tel Aviv ehlangana nenxanxathela yezitolo, kanye ne-Kimmel Restaurant ethokomele, lapho uqweqwe oluphezu koqweqwe lwezithako zokudla lufaka izithako zasendaweni ezintsha.

Futhi iseduze ne-Nalaga'at Centre, inkampani yeshashalazi enabalingisi abayizithulu abayi-11 abadlala ngendlela ethokozisayo futhi ethinta inhliziyo.
