I don't like to brag, but last week I had a one of those Tel Aviv experiences that I will never forget. I mean it wasn't your standard Tel Aviv experience, especially as it involved snapping away at politicians (recently-retired Tzipi Livni being one of them), rubbing shoulders with a few Israeli celebrities, meeting my favorite adult entertainment star and watching an advance preview of the sequel to one of the films that defined...

The problem with Tel Aviv being so great and having so many places to explore is that it sometimes becomes quite overwhelming. Just when I think I am getting to know the city, I hear about a whole host of places that I have never been to that seem to be institutions among locals who have been living here for a while.
