... in case you visit Moscow!!!!!        Moscow also is amazing!!! We spend all our evening is different clubs, restaurants, spend huge amounts of money, but it was worth it :))))   If you go to Moscow, make sure you also made ...

... or Russian phrasebooks.   Arbat is the artsy area, and now feels quite touristy with souvenir shops (very nice ones), restaurants, cafes, even Starbucks, but is a pleasant place.  Today was my first clue about how HUGE this city is, as I ...

... down Old Arbat Street. Supposedly Moscow's principal shopping street. Nothing special, dozens of (rather tacky) souvenir shops, restaurants, street entertainers, nice enough. Left the street, little while later came across the Cathedral of Christ the ...

... small cans of coke and fanta - it almost seemed like soft drinks were a new thing here! I spied a lot of Japanese restaurants and have noticed that Japanese cuisine seems to be very popular with the Russians here! I’m guessing because the Japanese ...

... us to the Radisson SAS Slavayanskya by the Moscow River. This was a very comfortable hotel which we all loved, although the restaurants attached to it were ridiculously expensive, even by Russian standards. That's what comes of staying in swanky ...

... Russian woman recommended us, in a good English, to take a boat in the river and to eat in one of the My-My restaurants you can easily find in Moscow. There is a cow in the entrance (My-My is the sound the cows make ... it is like muuu-muuu in Spanish ...

... , but forego the Macdonalds on Tverskaya St, and head on up to the recommended eating street of Kammergersky, but all the restaurants (pectopahs, in rough guess Russian) have outdoor tables, and are top dollar. Further on is the recommended Pelmeshka ...

... Pushkin to anyone that would like to have a Russian culinary experience. As it is one of the few restaurants serving Russian food, and probably the best in Moscow in this genre. After dinner we made our way back to the hotel, still wet and gloomy ...

... security, the works! Did nothing to allay my fears of security around the city. Inside the hotel had four very nice restaurants, highly expensive jewelry stores, couture clothing shops with Prada, Dolce and Gucci, and a casino. Again, not at all what I ...

... pavement in front (the only place on the street with no snow.)The locals saw this as a waste of money. Many of the restaurants charge for meals by weight scales are at the side of the till. In general Moscow was more expensive than St Petes by about ...

... 20 years. Angela is overjoyed because it has made our navigation of the city so much easier (in the Metro and in the restaurants) and also makes short dialogues with the locals possible. For me it has been something like magic how the words just suddenly ...

... metro station but best of all our door opened onto "Old Arbat st". This is the trendy pedestrian street littered with shops, restaurants and busy Muscovites sipping coffee or watching the many buskers on the street. We were only a short walk to Red ...

... days were spent in the office meeting with various E&Y professionals, however the evenings allowed us to visit some local Russian restaurants to become acquainted with the local food and local customs.     During one of trips to the restaurant for ...

... a restaurant in front of the Kremlin. Japanese is really popular here although we’ve noticed there are no Thai or Vietnamese restaurants. It was just enjoyable being able to sit on the lawns in front of the Kremlin along with everyone else trying to ...

... language and an alphabet that looks enough like our own to confuse us. We eventually went to one of the more touristy restaurants just outside the Kremil where we had good pizza, beers and people watching. There were 2 men dressed in black suits with ...

... I’ve realized in my travels around the world is to bring your own water bottle to dinner to reduce the costs of eating out. Restaurants often mark up the cost of drinks several times over what it costs in a grocery store, so this is a simple trick ...
