Emek Refaim Street is the platonic ideal of cafe locations: wide, tree-lined, dominated by unique half-Arab, half-German architecture and always crowded, perfect for people-watching. Ben Ami, for its part, lives up to the platonic ideal of Israeli cafes, so it's a good match.

Falafel seems almost out of place on relentlessly trendy Emek Refaim Street. True, falafel may be essentially the national food of Israel, able to unite immigrants and natives, Ashkenazim and Mizrachim, Arabs and Jews for the five minutes it takes to eat it, but there doesn't seem to be much room between the hip and expensive restaurants and cafes of Emek for humble deep-fried chickpea balls. read more
