As nightlife editor for
Time
Out Israel
and founder of
Diytelaviv.com
,
Shimrit
Elisar
has proven to be a
fountain of knowledge about
Israel’s seaside city. This
month, she investigates the
revival of one of its most
famous boulevards,
bohemian Shenkin Street
(see p28) – though there
were some some unwanted
consequences: “I drank so
much coffee in various cafés
that I nearly cycled into a
wall on the way back home.”
It was
Jim Spencer
who
whisked up watercolour
portraits of chefs to serve
with our pick of the 35 best
brunches around (see p57). A
dab hand when it comes to
putting faces on paper, the
Northumbria-based artist,
whose work has also been
featured in
The Guardian
and
GQ Australia
, says the
hardest thing about
capturing the likeness of
someone well-known is what
he likes best: “It wouldn’t be
any fun if it was easy.”

Spending time in
Amsterdam’s red light
district is nothing new for
Mark Smith
, but it’s not
what you might think. The
Monocle
and
Time Out
writer works but a stone’s
throw away – “Just popping
out to get a sandwich, I
pass, like, 20 working girls,”
he says – so he was
perfectly placed to write
about the rejuvenation of
‘De Wallen’. Find out all
about how this X-rated area
is changing on p46.
When we offered
Daily
Telegraph
and
Condé Nast
Traveller
writer
Louis de
Rohan
the chance to escape
the UK winter for Lanzarote’s
blue skies, it must have
been a tough decision. Still,
despite “sand blowing into
camera equipment and
being told off for laughing”
during a transformational
breathing workshop, he
made it through, even
experiencing “a dramatic and
intense catharsis”. Find out
more on p76.
