  City Center
  Downtown Jerusalem is the heart of the modern metropolis, with nightlife, dining and culture to rival any major city. The area is made up of several neighborhoods, including the colorful Mahane Yehuda Market, charming Nahalat Shiva, bustling Ben Yehuda and Yafo Streets. Each has its own unique personality and atmosphere that you won’t want to miss out on.
  
  South
  South Jerusalem is an up-and-coming area that has seen the development of numerous attractions in recent years, including the state-of-the-art Jerusalem Payis Arena, which hosts some of the biggest international musical acts and sporting events. It joins places like Emek Refaim Street, Malha Mall, the Biblical Zoo, Teddy Stadium, Gazelle Valley and Ramat Rachel tourism complex in making up an area that is particularly popular with families.
  
  West Jerusalem
  West Jerusalem includes some of Jerusalem’s most charming neighborhoods and interesting attractions. Head to the picturesque Ein Karem at the foot of the Jerusalem Hills for a day of nature, quaint shops and elegant dining with a view. And for an unbeatable cultural experience, check out the Museum District, home to the world-class Israel Museum, the Bible Lands Museum, Science Museum and much more.
  
  Old City
  The Old City of Jerusalem has been a center of culture, religion and history for thousands of years, from the time of the Judean kings and the Roman era through the times of the Islamic Empire to the modern State of Israel. Every brick and stone is teeming with history. No trip to the Middle East is complete without wandering through alleys of the bazaar, walking the ramparts and exploring the Old City’s rich history at the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Temple Mount (Al-Aqsa) or Tower of David Museum.
  
  NEAR OLD CITY
  Not far from the Old City, you can find some of Jerusalem’s most vibrant entertainment and shopping centers. Mamilla Mall is just a few steps from Jaffa Gate and counts as one of the most luxurious shopping centers in the city, replete with high-end shops, Mamilla Hotel’s Akasha Spa and a collection of restaurants with amazing views. And if you follow Hebron Road, you’ll find the First Station cultural complex and the Yes Planet movie theater and entertainment center.

Plan an Event

Over the past couple of years, Georgie’s has established itself as the address for hungry people that need their food quickly, but don’t want to compromise on health or taste.

Located on the corner of King George, Georgie’s menu is quite simple. First you choose between beef, turkey or a vegetable (sweet potatoes or cauliflower), then you choose a sauce (goulash, thai, barbecue, or the special of the day), then either rice or ptitim (Jerusalem cous cous), and then you choose which fresh vegetables and herbs you’d like. Once the guy working the counter has mixed up your meat/vegetable and the sauce, it all goes in a “Chinese” takeout box, and you eat it — simple, tasty and healthy.

A bit of advice, while the regular sauces are certainly all delicious, make sure you check out the daily special, which can be anything from Mexican or Indonesian to Ethiopian or Moroccan. There is always a sample bowl with bits of pita bread for a quick taste.

In addition to tasty boxed meals, Georgie’s has also added specialty sausages to its menu, including Angus beef, mergaz (Moroccan) and Brazilian beef, all of which can be served on a bun with either mustard and sauerkraut or a sauce and fresh vegetables.

Georgie Pitta is part of the growing “kosher without a certificate” restaurant community, which means that their ingredients, storage and preparation are all kosher, and the restaurant is not open on Shabbat, but they do not have a certificate from a recognized kashrut supervisor.
