Ms Julie - Egyptian cuisine in HaCarmel Market

In one of my recent photo shoots, which took place in Kerem Hateymanim
 the producer had a brilliant idea
 Instead of ordering catering, and us eating from plates on our knees, 
she booked us to a small restaurant
nearby - Julie


My crew filled up all the tables of the little place
And the food was delicious 
I was also charmed by the relaxed atmosphere

The small kitchen at Julie's

And I promised myself to return 

Julie Uzon, chef and owner. " I love smoking" she says

The opportunity occurred yesterday
and after having lunch, I visited the kitchen
And chatted a little with friendly Julie herself
The owner and main chef of Julie's at Hacarmel market
 
Egyptian dishes, delicately seasoned 

Julie was born in Cairo and came to Israel at the age of seven.
In the restaurant she recreates the tastes and smells of Cairo, 
which is the flower of the Middle East,
she told me .



The stalls of Shuk Hacarmel across the street fro the restaurant
Generations

The restaurant is located in the heart of Shuk Hacarmel, surrounded by stalls, which make it all the more friendly and inviting.
The staff contains a few very friendly women, including her daughter, which Julie designates to be the heir of her empire.
The restaurant is open for lunch only, and the food is freshly prepared every day. 

Julie - 42 Malan st. corner of Yom Tov
open Monday to Friday

Nili Lotan in Tel Aviv

I've been following fashion designer Nili Lotan's for years, loving the clothes, the lifestyle and the attitude
 So it was really amazing when she contacted me last month to photograph her for The Window
Barney's New York's very lively and interesting blog, 
to create a travel diary in beloved Tel Aviv
We set out in the morning ,with a list of favorite places, and had lots of fun
We've even discovered a few new places
Here are the photos and you can see more on Barney's blog

Nili Lotan at the Hilton beach which is a favorite surfers' spot and has a great secret restaurant
In a beautiful Bauhaus building in the White City
Nili Lotan at the entrance to the new building of the Tel Aviv museum
The best spot for lunch and catching up - Hotel Montefiori
The coolest street - Rothschild Boulevard
The amazing ancient alleys of Jaffa



Nili Lotan at the Flea Market in Jaffa , a good place for antiques and trendy stuff too
Lots of treasures to be found at the Jaffa flea market



* I've been admiring Nili all day, walking on stilletos! A real New Yorker!

Rothschild 12

Fashion editorial for Lady Globes

One of my favorite Tel Aviv cafes is Rothschild 12 .


At night it turns into a great bar with lots of  interesting people and things going on .





It's also a great location for fashion and more .
I've shot there twice.
The light is fantastic and the place is like a set arranged by the best art director .
A  nonchalant mixture between old and new .
