Off of Alenby and opposite the Shook HaCarmel you will find the trendy, boutique filled, youthful ambianced Sheinkin Street. It is especially known for its unique shops, cafe’s, fashionable clothing and footwear. It is no place to bargain, but between the popular shops and packed cafes it is possible to find some reasonable prices. You can also find handmade jewelry and crafts, kiosks, fresh fruit stands and even tattoo shops. It is favored amongst celebrities, hippies, and for the young at heart. You will although still see the unfortunate man or woman wrapped in blanket with hand out, but hey, no where is perfect. Strolling around today I made a cute gay friend while buying a cheap pair of sunglasses, a possible photo job, and got yelled at for taking a picture of a lady singing -that wasn't even good enough to post! Furthermore... the owner of the cafe im sitting at just poured me another glass of (delicious red) wine on the house... I think I have been here a bit too long :)
All in all a fabulous day, afterall I called it mine; It had to be amazing and it was.
