Iva,

Speaking of food. If you want to try some real (and I mean it, real) Russian food the way it's made in a typical family, the way you can never get it in a restaurant, be sure to visit Lavka Studii Lebedeva. That place has just opened, but it has already earned an almost revered stature, even among Russians. They have a different dish every day, and it's always something uniquely Russian, like a recipe taken from a 1970s Soviet cookbook. Make sure you also try their coffees, they brew the best espresso and ristretto in the city and their baristas are trained by international champions.

If I ever end up in Moscow (which I doubt given that I'm Russian and the army wants me real bad), that's the first place I'm heading for food. Besides the cafe, they also have a store full of various designer things you might wanna check out.

They're located at Bolshaya Nikitinskaya Str., 35 or Б. Никитская, 35.

Hope you'll enjoy your food and stay. :)
