Despite the advance publicity, the only "delicious Israeli cuisine" to be found was a rather crumbly heap of falafel, with lettuce and hot sauce, in a pita ($5). Dogs, burgers, too. I had hopes for Brother to Brother, "the most famous band of singers from Israel's National Army," when they proved to be a coed combo of twenty-somethings in olive drab, on guitar, bass, drums, and keyboard, with two female lead singers, but their sound check was so painfully long that that's all I heard.
