... when having a walk on a rainy day (Ibn Gvirol street)

Nordau - Ibn Gvirol intersection

It was so hot today, that I could hardly recall how a few weeks ago it was raining so heavily on Friday morning, that I really couldn't think of venturing outside. Then I thought of one place a walk was not only possible, but also reasonable on a rainy day - under the arcades of Ibn Gvirol buildings.

This is how it was raining! I really liked this small graffiti sign. I think it loves Tel Aviv too :)

Ibn Gvirol is a long, long street, constructed from typical (to Ibn Gvirol) 4-floor buildings: the 3 upper floors are residential, and the ground floor holds shops and businesses. Under the buildings, in front of the shops, there's a kind of arcade that shelters from the rain in the winter, and from the sun in the summer.

"Efrata" designer boutique at 175 Ibn Gvirol st. - great for window shopping, and for the regular shopping as well

And so, this is a really great walk for a rainy day: you can go from a shop to a shop, window shopping, buying an occasional cup of coffee and continue walking, watching the rain pouring outside...

For your Tel Aviv address book:
