In the heart of downtown - yet off the beaten path - sits the legendary HaMarakiya - a real bohemian gem. Literarily translated as "The Soup Place", HaMarakiya serves six kinds of soups (menu changing every day) as well as Israeli and Lebanese fresh salads, tapas and hummus. This is where you will find local Israeli art students and hipsters drinking their soup in the winter and cool Jerusalem summer nights - either indoors or in the outdoor section in the back. Inexpensive wine and beer. Live jazz on Tuesdays.
