Machaneh Yehuda
Machaneh Yehuda Review
This block-long alley and a parallel wider street are filled with the brilliant colors of the city's best-quality and lowest-price fruit, vegetables, cheeses, confection stalls, falafel stands, fresh fish, and poultry. It's fun to elbow your way through anytime, but it's riotously busy on Thursday and Friday in particular, when Jewish Jerusalem shops for the Sabbath, and the hawkers' cries get more passionate as closing time approaches. Look for the excellent coffee shop called "Mizrachi / Hakol le'ofeh Ve'gam Kafeh" (sign in Hebrew only), on Shazif Street, third lane on the left as you enter from the Agrippas Street end. The market links Jaffa Street and Agrippas Street, parallel to and just a five-minute walk up from King George Street (as you go west). Most of the downtown bus lines stop on Jaffa Street, or at least on King George, and there is paid parking close to the market.
