Shuk HaNamal

Every Friday morning, Shuk Hanamal opens its front and back doors to spread the way for a farmer's market. The inside of the market remains the upscale Tel Aviv foodie dream that sits on the port all week long, filled with fresh cheese, meat, fish and restaurants that claim the highest products available in Tel Aviv. These shops are then joined by farmers from around Israel, highlighting the best oils, jams, produce, cheeses, and breads they offer. While its difficult to trek all the way to the northern tip of the city on Friday mornings, and even harder still to battle the throngs of Tel Avivim who only want the best for their Friday night tables, I never regret visiting this once-a-week treat. The food is colorful and bright, the samples are surprising and enticing, the vendors are ohsodreamy and dirty and loving... oh, the thrill of a farmers market for a true foodie!!! It never gets old.
