They really do have awesome breakfast burritos. Around $7 and there's usually a 20 minute wait for them.

That, sir, was quite clever!

Random:

While on a trip to Israel I had several meetings in a room on the 5th floor of our hotel. I had noticed an odd looking vent/register out in the hallway, and once I sat down inside I tried to figure out what the round device below was for:



At the next day's meeting I noticed a ladder over in a corner leading up through the ceiling. But that didn't make sense because we were not near the top floor. Did it lead to a tunnel?



Then I saw a rug covering what appeared to be a trap door. I put 2 and 2 together and realized that once could travel between floors with such an arrangement. I also realized that there was a similar meeting room on each of the 10 floors of the hotel.



So then I really began to examine the room. Behind an accordion door I saw what had to be an air filtration system, and then the light bulb (finally) came on. They must be able to create a positive pressure to keep sheltering guests from getting bad gas etc. And the round device had to be a one-way vent.



When I turned off the lights at the end of the day, I noticed one more ingenious thing - everything important to life support in the room glowed in the dark!



It's sad they have to take such precautions, but I applaud their advance planning!

Years ago, I saw an episode of house hunters international that was in Jerusalem. Most of the high rise apts that they showed the folks had bomb shelter rooms.

It was very hard to imagine living like that. But, if you only know that one way of living, and you don't know any other way, it's normal.
