An extra tip…
There are magical homemade sandwiches on King George between Bograshov and Dizengoff by a man named Hillel. His shop is super tiny and the wait can be long, but he is a sandwich expert and it's like going to your grandfather's kitchen and having him make it for you. It will always hit the spot.
