Been there, done that... Tel Aviv 4 Fun notes June 14, 2011 The American Colony a hidden gem Today I was a tourist in my own city. I went to discover the little streets of a southern neighbourhood on the border between Jaffa and Tel Aviv. The area is called the American Colony for historic reasons and is just east to Jaffa. I just took a left from the Jaffa Clock square onto Eilat street which is a continuation of Raziel street. Eilat street is a shabby commercial street. I walked on its right side until I got to a little street named Auerbach. Here as if the time stopped I could see the old houses built by the Americans more than 150 years ago and also by the German templars later. Some of the houses are in process of restoration and some are already finished. We visited the beautiful Immanuel church that was built in the neo-ghotic style by German settlers and saw the unique and beautiful vitrages
that my friend discovered. Uri Eliaz that created a huge amount of sculptures and paintings and we were overwhelmed by the quantity and beauty of his work. We ended our tour at Guetta restaurant on Jerushalaim street where the food was not great but the tomato bean soup and the tehina were nice .. |
