The First Station – BITE SIZE

Have you been to First Station? Hear Tova Hametz, the Creative Arts, Design and Retail Director at the First Station, talk about the all the exciting activities happening there over Pesach 2018, in our interview on BITE SIZE with Yoni Pollak.

Listen to the Interview – 

Here are some of the “Interview Highlights”

  • The First Station is an outdoor mall located on the site of the Old Train Station in Jerusalem on David Remez St. (across from the new Isrotel Orient)
  • Over the last few years the First Station has become the hub for children’s activities, artists, culture, and restaurants in Jerusalem.
  • The best part about the area is that there is something to do for everyone. For example, children can enjoy a mosaic workshop while parents walk around and see the artist booths. Or the family can go to a concert and then do a glass painting workshop together afterwards.
  • Plenty of shady and covered areas to enjoy in all weather.
  • Before or after any of these activities you can enjoy all the yummy food at the Kosher for Pesach restaurants. Fresh (Dairy Kosher), Hamiznon (Dairy Kosher), Cafe Landver, Adom, Lechem Baasar (Meat Kosher), Station 9 (Meat Kosher), Fiori (Dairy Kosher).
