    AROMA Espresso Bar

    Downtown Petah Tikva on a Saturday night? Dead as a doornail. Only Jerusalemites like us would imagine that being so close to Tel Aviv, the “city that never sleeps,” something had to be open…Goes to show how little we know about our own country. We had the keys to an apartment in Em Hamoshavot, a new upscale neighborhood in Petah Tikva (alas, on land that used to be planted with orange groves). The plan was to overnight there, and do some sightseeing in the area the following morning.

    The locals laughed at us when we asked where the “downtown” was. It’s right here, they said, pointing to a few shuttered shops near the Triple Arch commemorating Baron de Rothschild, the Jewish philanthropist who came to the rescue after a decade of failed farming endeavors in the 1880s. Try Em Hamoshavot, they said. Aroma is open.

    Em Hamoshavot ( “Mother of the Colonies”) was where we were heading for the night anyway, so off we drove to Aroma. And yes, it was open, and even busy – although closing hour was near. Since the first Aroma was established in Jerusalem 10 years ago, branches have sprouted all over the country – and beyond. You can even find one in the SoHo district in NYC (open 24-hours a day).

    Some people compare Aroma to Starbucks, but not being a big coffee drinker, I am not in a position to comment. What I can say is that the portions are huge.

    The café itself was bright and cheery, with a red, white and black color scheme. You can sit inside, on upholstered swivel chairs, and enjoy the air-conditioning, or choose an outside table shaded by umbrellas. We ordered iced coffee and iced choco (NIS 16 each), a cheese bureka (NIS 13) and a tuna salad that came with a mound of fresh vegetables, two kinds of bread and two dressings (NIS 31) – definitely enough for two. Everything was reasonably tasty. The food was not what I would call exciting, but it was definitely filling.

    Only 10 mintues from Petah Tikva - after Rosh Ha'ayin and Kibutz Eynat you will see this tower from the crusaders time located on a 141m hill.

    Right now you cant enter this place because it is damaged and near a military fire area.

    This is a small neighborhood in Petah Tiqwa with small lovely houses , quiet area , green places.

    just walk and enjoy the quiet.

    The water tower is very close to Neve Oz.
    In fact - the house in the picture is 2 minutes walking from the water tower.

    Although Petah Tikva is not a very green city you will find a lot of green areas outside the city - Eynat , Givat Ha'shlosha , Elad etc.

    Only 10-15 minutes from the city you will see great view , flowers , trees and a lot of green.
