Eating Like You Live on a Stipend

Our newest discovery for eating dinner on our budget - business lunch. Apparently business people like to eat lunch, bargain-priced, large lunch - until around 5 p.m., a reasonable time for non-business people to start eating dinner. Rina and I ate lupper this twilight at Macaroni, a great Italian diner near Ben Yehuda street. For 39 shekels per person we had soup, antipasto, homemade bread, salad, and pasta, and all were delicious. We highly recommend the eatery to anyone hungry for (what we believe to be) relatively authentic and tasty Italian food. Or businesspeople.

Italian = pasta so Rach is happy ... cheap makes G happy ... we're booking you to go when we visit!

Would it be wrong of us to tell you that we thought of you when we were there? But we do have one more Italian Business Lunch to try before you get here, so don't book yet.

I'm glad you thought of us. Most people tend to associate me with pasta. I am not ashamed. My love affair with pasta existed long before Gerald did.

here in the US, Subway typically has a deal where you get a footlong sub for the price of a 6" after a certain time (I think 5pm). So I usually wind up with lunch for the next day whenever I go that late.

Sounds like the plan is to go to Macaroni for an early dinner, then Subway for a late lunch.
