Zion Square - The hang-out!

Hanging out with friends:)
One of our favorite places to "hang-out" in Jerusalem, since we have been spending the winter here, is downtown in the area called Zion Square.  It is in the center of town near the shuk.  Shops line the walk-ways where you can buy anything from a scarf to a menorah, shoelaces to a fridge magnet. Souvenir shops,  Judaic art and toys stores.  Also there are a wide range of food places.  Big Apple Pizza, Moshiok's flaffels, and even McDonalds!  Street entertainers flood the area also.  This is where our kids like to "busk".  It is fun to watch the other "Buskers" also.  Harpists, flute players, karaoke singers and I have even seen a man playing a digeradoo (Australian Aborigine horn).  The atmosphere is fun and you can literally spend all day just walking, shopping and people watching!!!

Hey guys,

My name is Maya and I am working with a documentary filmmaker who is doing a non-profit project on cultural Jerusalem. We were looking at your blog and REALLY loved your photo in Zion Square. We were wondering if you will give us permission to use your photo on the website dedicated to the project - jerusalemunfiltered.com
Would love it if you could get back to me at jerusalemunfiltered@gmail.com

Thanks!!
Maya
