Travel Info Question for people living in Tel Aviv - where is a cool bar/pub for 25-35 year olds? Travel Tips might want to post this somewhere other than the san diego, ca, USA area.... Thanks for the points though! Others Tel Aviv may be in the heart of the Holy Land, but its all-hours, pansexual, smoker-friendly, inexpensive club scene is anything but pious (and the city is increasingly safe). The weekend starts Thursday night, so leave Wednesday night (El Al has an 11:50 p.m. flight from JFK that lands just in time for dinner the following day). Book the Cinema Hotel (from $120; 972-3-520-7100), a converted thirties movie house a short stroll from the Mediterranean. Having slept on the flight, get your groove on early with dinner at Nanuchka (28 Lilenblum St.; 972-3-516-2254), a Georgian supper club; wash down tinakali (cheese dumplings with yogurt) with vodka shots, and maybe some dancing on tables to post-Soviet Slavo-pop. Flag a cab for the short ride to Ha-oman 17 (88 Abarbanel St.; 972-3-681-3636), Tel Aviv鈥檚 megaclub of the moment, which imports international D.J.鈥檚 like Paul Van Dyk and Armin Van Buuren for its Thursday-night parties. Wake up in time for a late Friday lunch at the aptly named Betty Ford (48 Nahalat Binyamin St.; 972-3-510-0650) to recharge on its hefty half-pound burgers and a big chug of Goldstar (the local brew); pass the afternoon souvenir-shopping and hottie-spotting at the outdoor crafts market just up the street. Take a disco nap before a late dinner close to clubland at coffeeBar (13 Yad Harutzim St.; 972-3-688-9696; reservations recommended), with its perfect steak-frites and sexy crowd. Continue to Barzilay Club (13 Harechev St.; 972-3-6878090 ), a nearby six-month-old hipster dance haunt, and then to the G-Spot (40 Salame St.; 972-52-8846121 ), whose D.J.-owner, Nir Mamon, spins the latest rap hits straight outta Brooklyn. Well past midnight, explore the Breakfast Club (6 Rothschild Blvd.; no phone), a smoky, shameless after-hours pickup spot, or Evita (31 Yavne St.; 972-3-566-9559), its nearby gay equivalent. Enjoy a late Saturday brunch at the alfresco Shalvata (Tel Aviv Port; 972-3-544-1279) with a cocktail while admiring prime Mediterranean views. Spend the last few hours on the beach itself, before heading back to the airport for El Al鈥檚 midnight flight to New York. You鈥檒l land early the next day鈥攍eaving plenty of time to recover before Monday morning. http://nymag.com/travel/2007/spring/3063... |
