The Tel Aviv central bus station is seven stories, each its own circle of hell. Centrally located, if you squint at the map; clean, if you don't see dirt; and, seriously, a place where you can buy anything you have or haven't dreamed of.

Counterintuitively, busses leave from the top two floors, and one enters usually at floor 3. Descend to floors one and two at your own peril (if it's even possible), and bear in mind that the sense of despair you feel while walking up the stationary escalators is common, and it too shall pass.
