Off putting way in
Walking on Yafo, with Beit Yoel (housing the Village Green) on your left, cross Yosef Rivlin and continue the tiniest bit , not quite to Shlomtzion HaMalka. On your right will be an archway that doesn't look like it goes anywhere you'd want to. Enter anyway. Graffiti cover the walls of a short passage.
But you can already see the upscale restaurants on the way to Yoel Moshe Solomon Street.
Along with Yosef Rivlin, Yoel Moshe Solomon, before he made is way to Petakh Tikva, founded Nakhalat Shiv'a in 1868. Some of the buildings still stand. cross the street and you cam make your own way through courtyards and alleyways to Kikar HaMusika, a new project adding performance space inside and out to modern Jerusalem.
Saturday's municipality walking tours, both the Hebrew and the English, went through the center of the new city, from the Russian Compound to Zion Square (http://jerusalemblog.blogspot.co.il/2007/01/handprint.html ) (named for the city's first cinema) and on to Nakhalat Shiv'a. I already knew most of the places and history, but not all. These walks always teach me something new and take me to at least one place I haven't been before, often to one I'd never discover on my own.
