All the trendy & tasty places in Tel Aviv's Levinsky Market

The word 'market' (shuk) is a bit of an inadequate way to describe south Tel Aviv's Levinsky Markey, just near HaAliya Street. There are dozens of quality food and drink spots hiding in the corners of this lesser-known, burgeoning neighborhood.

Few are the areas in Tel Aviv that can produce such a concentration of fine spots for entertainment and restaurants that provide excellent culinary delights with equally great vibes. The Levinsky Market is the perfect place to refuel your pantry, body, and soul. The style of entertainment is alternative and easygoing, and the prices are easier on the wallet. A glass of arak and a sniff of all the spices that abound, and you are in the Levinsky State of Mind.
