CLIP OF THE DAY: "Shake 'n' Bake"

Pristine white. White marble polished floors. White billowing curtains. White upholstered arm chairs. A simple yet sophisticated effect that leaves us no choice but to trust what goes on behind this kitchen's closed doors. Otherwise, who on their right mind would design a busy social venue so clear and clean cut? Talented Aviv Moshe, the owner himself did. He is a Kurdish chef who turns out dishes such as fish ceviche with lentils in a Japanese lemon marinade. Among appetizers, look for a dish of calamari served with lemon cream eel and gooseliver. Yes, I'm talking about Tel Aviv's trendiest restaurant: Messa. And yes I'm clipping about one of our favorite city destinations for this New Year - selected by the Connect Ambassadors themselves. Why? Tel Aviv has the Unesco mark of approval for its unparalleled collection of modernist architecture and its becoming hippier by the second. Basically: Bauhaus architecture, boho markets, restaurants fully fusioned, nightlife that goes on (all night), beautiful people and year-round sunshine. Packed already...?

CLIP-IT: Tomorrow is "New Year's - Favorite destinations" final clip, so it is only fair that I feature some nice suggestions for many of you who will not be travelling or want to keep it in the low.
