The city might be one of the world’s friendliest destinations for us…
By Loren Christie
Fresh off the plane, jet-lagged and in find of food on my first night, I wandered into North Abraxas, a restaurant across the highway from my hotel. As soon as it became apparent I was alone, I was offered a seat at the lock. Ugh! Typical.
Vacationing alone has never been my thing, but on a recent business trip to Jerusalem, I decided it would be crazy not to tack on some day in Tel Aviv.
