Photo’s of Tel Aviv Fever editor in Dutch Playboy Magazine
Tel Aviv Fever editor Ed Hofschreuder was asked to provide photo’s of Tel Aviv to illustrate an article about the Israel/Tel Aviv experience of Dutch Playboy Magazine editor Jan Heemskerk, chief editor Marcel Langedijk and friend Joel Fresco under the title: “Playboy’s Wild Weekends” It is a fun story with mixed feelings of the three, but the overall question, “Is Israel no fun?” is answered in the article: “Are you crazy? Israel is fantastic. They are only a bit fanatic about … Read entire article »

No English noodles in Giraffe Tel Aviv
While walking to the Cinemateque Tel Aviv to see the rewarded movie I Shot My Love, we walked by a restaurant where the people were waiting in line to get a table. This was nothing new, but the place looked nice, so it glued to our memory. A week later we tried to eat something somewhere with our friend Michal. After trying some other places we accidentaly got to the same place that we passed last … Read entire article »

Official Tel Aviv-Jaffa Guide for iPhone in App Store
It is in the iTunes App Store for several month now, but Tel Aviv has it own iPhone App, VISITLV. It was published by the The Association for Tourism Tel Aviv-Jaffa in May, more than in time for the summer season. A pity I did find it just a while ago. ;-) The app starts with one of the most a wonderful splash screens I have seen (I thought of surprising you by not showing it, but not everyone has an iPhone ;-) ) and contains information about the three Walking Routes we talked about before, cafés, pubs, restaurants, museums, hotels, free guided tours and of course a ‘What’s On’-calendar, which, to my opinion, could be more extensive and more up-to-date… ;-) It is possible to search for the name of a restaurant, … Read entire article »

Female chefs of Tel Aviv in New York Times
I can dream, think, daydream about (vegetarian) cooking books, food, restaurants, ingredients AND cooking, so I was intrigued by the article “The Real Balabustas of Tel Aviv” by Anthony Grant in The New York Times Style Magazine online. Just like in the Netherlands a chef (de cuisine) is in about 99% a man… At home women do the cooking, but in restaurants kitchens most of the time a man is in charge. Strange… The article shows us a new generation of female chefs that is hitting the stoves. I like that. I am sure that this female touch can do magic for this world of cooking. A few of these women in Tel Aviv are: Tamar Cohen-Tzedek in Cucina Tamar, Einav Berman in Asif, and Rima Olvera with her her home kitchen in the Florentin … Read entire article »

Of course for the ‘real thing’ you have to take a plane and fly to the swinging art-capital of the Middle-East: Tel Aviv!! … Read entire article »
High level dinner in Tel Aviv
I know this is not for everybody. No, not even for me… ;-) But I think Tel Aviv is one of the best places for this Dinner in the Sky. Originally from cold and wet Belgium ;-) , you can have a dinner, thoroughly strapped to your seat and a chef doing his thing high up in the sky. In Israel you don’t have to bother about an weather insurance. If you are not Dutch (or Belgian) don’t listen to the reporter, but (Dutch language video exchanged for English one). Watch the fun and view (and wish the people bete’avon and a safe landing): The builders also put pictures on their website: HERE The Belgian Embassy in Tel Aviv put it on their site too: HERE ;-D … Read entire article »

“Tel Aviv from the bottom of a coffee cup and a beer glass”
Yesterday, Friday 15th, I found this nice article in The Jerusalem Post by Ari Miller: “Two vices too few”. He wrote: “Tel-Aviv turns me on. From the beautiful woman to the nooks and crannies it has to offer, I can’t seem to get enough. Stuck between the Mediterranean coast and Israel, coupled with the malaise of life in general, this city, which combines the best of the First World with the exotic tragedy of the Third, is made livable for two reasons: coffee and beer. Let me explain…” [via Jerusalem Post Online] … Read entire article »

Tel Aviv Fever one month old! Time for a present :-D
April 19th, 2009 | 5 Comments
Yes, today [19:30 IL Time ;-) ] it is only one month that Tel Aviv Fever is LIVE. :-D We decided to give you a present, because we are thrilled by your reactions, of which we get most by e-mail and not as a comment, but that is a minor detail ;-) Don’t be afraid to tell us what you think! We thought you would love a video channel with video’s of Tel Aviv Only. So we made you our own Tel Aviv Fever vChannel. You can find it in the upper menu or HERE (which basically both do the same ;-) ) If you know a nice video that is not included yet, tell us, so we can put it there too! ENJOY! … Read entire article »
