Salad for breakfast!
In Israel, they have salad for breakfast. Why not salad for breakfast? Is there some law saying that breakfast can only consist of yellow and brown foods with lots of fat?
Still, I am who I am, and I couldn't resist topping it off with iced coffee and a jelly donut.
Okay, the iced coffee is more of a coffee milk shake. And the jelly donut is not just any jelly donut, but a sufganiyah -- a special Hanukkah jelly donut.
The one I had yesterday -- my first meal in Tel Aviv, as a matter of fact -- was incredibly good: it was like a warm Krispy Kreme filled with jelly.
Cafe Hillel may be my home base in Tel Aviv... great coffee and free wifi.
(My hotel charges a whopping $20 a day for internet access!)

The coffee in Israel is great, by the way, made in the European style: robust without the thick, burned-in Starbucks taste.

You've been in Israel for a day, and already you're talking in questions?
Try reading your post as if Jackie Mason were saying it... and you'll see what I mean.
However, you are making me regret not tagging along with you.
I don't know that I'd leave the hotel, with that view and all.

Salad for breakfast (or, at least, brunch) is IMHO one of the great features of Madison's Marigold Kitchen. In that case, it makes two poached eggs and a big pile of duck-and-potato hash feel like a balanced meal.
$20/day for 'net is stiff, even by the standards of U.S. conference hotels that will happily charge $10 for a bowl of Cheerios...
