Bauhaus in Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv, a city which never valued beauty, is revamping itself. Between Bograshov and Allenby, alongside Rothschild Blv, down in Neve Tzedek, the leafy boulevards, with pared down Bauhaus arquitecture, are regaining some of their old flavour. Gleaming white houses, small discreet cafés, little trendy shops amidst fragrant trees and  cool youngsters riding old fashioned bycicles create a relaxed mood which belies the atmosphere of tense expectation and brash invective normally associated with Israel.
