Tel-O-Fun: Transportation TLV Style
Tel Aviv is known for beautiful cycling paths along the sea, throughout quaint neighborhoods and throughout Park Hayarkon. It is one of the most popular ways for locals to get around at a low cost. The city bikes, Tel-O-Fun, have hundreds of stations throughout the city that allows for easy access to find and return bikes. Every ten minutes there is another station, which is amazing since you don’t have to worry about where to put your bike along your journey. With only $20 USD per week you can rent a bike with no added costs, as long as you return it every 30 minutes, wait 10 minutes before taking a new one. You can find a station on the boardwalk about five minutes from your hotel in Tel Aviv.
Quality Coffee, Sandwiches and Groceries, Dollar Store Style: Yes, You Read that Correctly!
When people hear that food and groceries are so cheap, they immediately wonder the catch is, what are they actually getting for such a dream price that is unheard of in most places. Well, believe it or not, Cofix and Super Cofix are the real deal (pun intended). Cofix has grown throughout the city and people line up at all hours for their coffee and freshly squeezed juice ranging from $1.50 USD to $2.00 USD. Their fresh sandwiches and baked goods are not far behind in cost. With the success of Cofix, they later opened Super Cofix, the grocery store that you will want to know about, especially since it is less than a five-minute walk from your hotel in Tel Aviv. With prices less than $5 USD per item, you can find all you need from a small selection of produce to dairy products, bread, canned goods and more.
Many Cofix (coffee shop) branches can be found throughout the city.
Super Cofix (supermarket) is located on 23 Ben Yehuda St.
