Tel Aviv by night

I still haven't seen Tel Aviv proper in daylight (and probably won't). Our office is in Ramat Gan, which wants to be Tel Aviv but really isn't. But the city is lovely in the dark. I saw the black-on-black that are the rocks that Andromeda was supposed to be chained to. Ok, that part was less lovely. But the Canaanite temple was pretty cool. And Old Jaffa on a weekend evening is what Williamsburg wants to be, if it were somehow transplanted to a 3000 year old city. Wine and some kind of dessert whose name I promptly forgot served in a mason jar under giant old fashioned Christmas lights strung from archways that were probably 700 years old. Blaring disco music and feral cats. Bougainvillea spilling down the gutters. Racks of trendy platform shoes wedged into alcoves that were probably intended to hold spice merchants and were certainly not designed for plate glass windows or electricity (which itself is routed through enormous antler chandelier). It's entertaining, how humans adapt their environment.
