Off to Israel. Advice on places/dishes? St Peters fish lunch?
In West Jerusalem I highly recommend the main food market, MAHANEH YEHUDA, between Jaffa and Agrippas. It is one Israel's largest markets and has a wonderful cafe, MIZRAHI (12 HaSheziff Street). MORDUCH for Kurdish food (70 Agrippas St), Rahmo for Middle Eastern (5 Ha'eshkol), HAKUBIYA for Kubeh soup (10 Beit Ya'akov St)
The Aroma and Hillel coffee chains are excellent. I highly recommend going to the CINEMATEQUE, which has amazing views of the old city, a movie theatre, of course, and excellent restaurant. It should be reopened following a wintertime renovation.
For falafel in West Jerusalem: Yemenite falafel on 48 Hanevi'im; Shalom on 34 Bezal'el.
Don't miss the garden bar at the American Colony Hotel in East Jerusalem, 10 minutes walk from Damascus Gate. Not exactly a bargain stop, but have one drink in the evening in the garden.

Marvin, you don't sound crazy. I love it too, though i like to "save" the chicken before it melts into the soup, so my cooking is 2, 2 1/2 hours top. I love doing it because it keeps me at home, close to the kitchen, yet I can do other things like read or work while monitoring the heat from the other side of the kitchen counter.
Adam knows, because I've told him 33 times, that adding sliced fresh ginger and parsnips add amazing flavor to the stock. It may not be for every recipe, but for my basic chicken soup with matzo balls it hits the spot.
My First Recipe
This looks great. Really appreciate the process that went into assembling the ingredients. Can't wait to try it at home...no wait, better yet, to invent my own.
