The market also boasts charming bakeries that offer an array of irresistible sweet treats. Here you can taste chocolate or cinnamon rugelach and some delicious baklava,

The area is full of tradition and history, with the stores on Eshel - the main street in the neighborhood - selling traditional Jewish religious items and jewelry.
