Long years of starving starvation on film and television screens have led us to paint a pretty clear fantasy about what’s going on in New Jersey.
In a nutshell - and I apologize in advance for the sweeping, superficial and blatant generalizations - imagine a whole state of pasta.
To the delicious Instagram page of Walla!
Food
that is, not only pasta, but also different types of pasta, and molds of pasta, and pasta sizzling and hot in the pan and Carmela Soprano takes out a baked zucchini from the oven, and the aristocrats of "Jersey Shore" swallow spaghetti, and also a little Naki Thompson (although he More in the direction of Atlantic City, but we were hungry), and the "good guys" (know, Greater New York, but do not be petty), but you got the point, even if very large patches of red sauce cover it.
And that’s exactly why we flew fast and high to the Streets, to pounce on their new New Jersey menu.

Birthday drags thoughts.

The celebrations of the decade for the Ibn Gviroli branch of the neighborhood Tel Aviv chain have led, as every birthday deserves its name, to deep thoughts and meaningful questions.
The result is, at least for now (because how can you pick up something new in this city without setting it up as a pop-up first?), Everything written above.
Or in other words - American-Italian-Israeli menu, New Jersey style.
The makeover move of owners Nadav Ne'eman, Rani Ofer and Yonatan Greenberg, included a new design by Studio NYLON and a mural by Doron Malki, a new showcase watching a takeaway (remember there was an epidemic here, right?) And the same new pop-up, comfortably positioned next to The cafe's regular menu (and available for deliveries via Volt or Let Bite).
"The streets have always lent sentences and expressions from popular culture, and it has resonated wherever possible - walls, menus, Wi-Fi passwords and wherever possible," Greenberg explained. "So, when we came to this pop-up, we immediately had pictures of dishes we saw and starved. "In front of them, imagine their taste and smell, and the comfort they bring. Maybe it's the corona era that made us want to wrap ourselves."
He mentioned the peeled garlic in a razor at the "Good Guys" jail meal while making "Sunday Gravy," the Carmela dishes from The Sopranos, and the cold meats Tony eats straight from the fridge, explaining that they sent him and his partners to New Jersey and its cuisine, At least as they imagine it - "a real place for real people, with thick sauces, fish, seafood, Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi".

So what are you actually eating here?
The salad section includes crispy panzanella with lots of vegetables, toasted bread cubes and mozzarella (NIS 56), caprese with a roasted zucchini twist (NIS 42) and what is known here as "The Emperor of Jersey", which is actually large halves of iceberg lettuce (too big for our liking, Worth considering cutting them into more normative slices) with a delicious gorgonzola dolce sauce, which is happily required for the table even later in the meal.
There are also two sandwiches - a toasted bun with corned beef and goose and a sourdough bun with a sandwich version of the same successful caprese - and two specials in the form of fish fillet zucchini (great zucchini-texture and greenish pasta also from pesto, with white fish fillet seared on the plancha, 72 shekels ) And chicken parmesan (chicken schnitzel, tomato sauce, basil, mozzarella and oregano, NIS 68) which is for some reason rare to see in our districts, and it's a shame.
The main shelf on the menu offers pastas, presumably, including spicy and fortified "Sunday Gravy" with beef sausage, "Naki Thompson's Rose" (Ringtones with goose breast, basil and parmesan), shrimp linguine and creamy and sea spinach (NIS 68), "from Carmela's Greenhouse" , Which is vegetable pasta in pesto sauce, cheese cannelloni and also our favorite - "Jersey Shore" (rigtoni, tomato sauce, basil, fish pieces and parsley, NIS 64) which was the furthest from that mythical reality trash, and the closest to a match between pasta and harima, in the segment Romantic of course.
If you have room left over, there are also desserts like tiramisu and chocolate mousse, and all sorts of happy and worthy suggestions to pour some wine into this meal.

Imagine a rain of meatballs.

The statements on the "New Jersey menu" drove me, as mentioned, to the streets, and my private childish fantasy was largely fulfilled, but if we are already here - bullshit and imagining - why not go all the way?
It was a very successful lunch, with some delicious and elegant dishes that already close a sane-priced and original enough meal.
This menu, however, must in my opinion become first of all set, and then also get approved and start going wild.
Imagine a rain of meatballs and other reddish Italian riots, of the kind that stain a shirt Imagine the mobsters from Hoboken sitting at Artie Boko's.
Imagine the size of the first godfather and the upgrade of godfather 2, then give us the cannoli and give us the gun as well.
