Your Wallet Is About to Get Pinched at the Israel Day Parade
Planning to hit the Israel Day Parade? Better bring extra cash. As the massive celebration of Israeli culture and heritage kicks off, local vendors and food trucks are charging a premium for everything from falafel to flags. Expect to shell out $15 for a basic pita and $20 for a souvenir t-shirt—prices that have jumped 20% from last year due to increased permit fees and supply chain costs. With crowds expected to top 100,000, merchants are cashing in, but your wallet will feel the squeeze. Pro tip: pack a lunch and buy your Israeli flags online ahead of time to avoid the markup.
