Curator’s statement
Tel Aviv is a magical city filled with beautiful people, incredible food and a rich culture. It is truly a melting pot of so many different cultures, people and places. Tel Aviv is the cool younger sibling to Jerusalem, much more laid-back and relaxed. One of the best ways to explore this Mediterranean hub is by visiting some of the world-renowned restaurants and connecting with the locals.
