Nobu Tel AvivInternational upscale Japanese restaurant Nobu, which announced plans for a hotel and apartments in Tel Aviv last month at an A-list attended celebrity event, has appointed a London-based agent to handle sales.

Premier Resorts will represent The Nobu Hotel and Residences which will open in 2010 on the Herzliya Marina. Prices start from £317,000 for a studio apartment in the 225 room development which also offers 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom and penthouses.

Kindhearted Dustin Hoffman has offered to buy 50 people dinner - if they order his namesake dish from the menu.

The Rainman star will buy food for diners at West Hollywood’s pricey Kumo Restaurant, reports TMZ.com.

But he will only pay the bill if they order the Dustin Hoffman Roll.
