Well Anita's is a story to cool even the hottest bodies. Anita's is the quintessential ice cream shop, with branches in Florintin and Neve Tzedek. My introduction to this fantasitc ice cream was on one fateful evening, 30 degree and 80 % humidity. I met a friend for a dinner near Rothschild Boulevard and she inquired as follows:
"Would you like to go for ice cream?". "Sure , where were you thinking?, it is very hot maybe somewhere close?" She quickly intoned "actually, I know a place close by, about 3 or 4 blocks up the road" "Cool, not far right?" "No, not far! just up the road"
How about maybe....................................NOT!
Well after what would be considered a hike, 3 to 4 blocks turned into 10 blocks DOWN the road and another 5 blocks to the RIGHT, we stumbled, exhausted, into Anita's. All I can say is it was worth the hike. The shop is airconditioned and has some of the best ice cream in the world ( Remember: I NEVER exaggerate). It is on Florintin Street Tel Aviv and I would even bet that it would give the ice cream in Italy's Florentine a good run for its money. The shop has a variety of flavours from Kinder Cookies, Pistachio and others, including a fantastic fresh sorbet section. So in conclusion , Anita's ...oh baby your love is better than ice cream. Eating at Anita's inspired this song, I have embedded for your enjoyment.
