Har Menuchos- kivrei tzadikim.
Har Nof has plenty of LIVING gedolim you can get brochos from.
*These are nearish the Kotel, but still a bit of distance*
1. A trip to Geula-Meah Shaarim is a must- seforim stores and you can get really cheap snacks there. One place last time I remember makes big gigantic bags of popcorn that only cost 14 shekalim.
2. The Shuk- sunflower seeds are amazing there. Ben Yehuda is there as well. You should for sure get something from Kotzefet. Its an Ice Cream place and really good stuff.
