Frommer's Israel

Karen Chernick is a Tel Aviv-based writer who prides herself on knowing obscure historic facts about the cityscape, plus the best place to get lunch. She can often be found at recently opened art exhibitions, the market, or walking along the Mediterranean (a view that never gets old). Her stories about hidden gems and worth-splurging eats have been featured in The Times (UK), Elle Decor, Smithsonian, Atlas Obscura, Haaretz, and The Times of Israel, among other publications.

Shira Rubin is a foreign correspondent for The Washington Post. She speaks English, Hebrew, Arabic, French and Spanish.

Elianna Bar-El is a Southern California native calling Tel Aviv home for the past 13 years. She served as the editor for Time Out Israel for over a decade and has written for Vogue, Architectural Digest, As Promised, and more. You’ll find her traveling, reading, eating, and vintage shopping (often all at once).
