The 5 Shekel Cup of Coffee and More

It's getting more and more common to see signs like this one in Jerusalem. Yes, a NS5 five shekel cup of hot coffee.


There are also a few small ns5 restaurants, like the one in the middle of Ben Yehuda Street in which I got a filling meal for ns10 a couple of months ago.

Since then, there has been a price revolution in Israel. Yesterday I had some carrot juice in the veteran juice bar on the corner of Histadrut and King George. They now sell their smallest carrot juice for just ns5, too. Since I was buying the juice to sub for lunch I splurged on the medium for all of NS8.

The roll is barely the
size of my palm.
Just a small warning. The quantities are smaller in most cases, so beware. But considering the well-known fact that obesity is mainly caused by eating portions that are too large, I recommend going to these five shekel restaurants if you're on a diet or just want to keep the weight off. You'll pay less, eat less and won't waste food that you've paid for.

    I like your concern for health, when advising smaller portions.

  2. For years already it is my too large portion eating that is keeping my weight up. Yes, I've lost and maintained a better weight, too, but it would be lower if I could just cut portions more.
    Israeli weight loss programs should recommend these ns5 places for eating out.
