That's the issue though, Chaikhona IS nice, try the one in Gorky park, it used to be fun to have their parking pass in the front window, a little passe now, but... was fun.
It is also expensive. Coffemania is just fine to see and be seen, but went a few days ago, had a tea, a slice of pecan pie, a bowl of pelmeni with 12% tip - RFR 1050. Nuts. Isaac's places are amazing, but the one I like has 8 tables, so no way am I telling some repat about them. Same for taxis. 956-8-956, is my taxi company of choice when I move, if you SPECIFICALLY ask for a Citroen, you can have a completely clean vehicle, that can carry half the load of a gazelle. BUT the minimum fee is RFR 500 or 20km anywhere from anywhere. Is USD 20 reas. for a regular cab ride? Flock a duck, no. And if they fold down the backseat it's a "universal service" and adds 200 RFR. 1000 RFR to SVO from Moscow is hardly a good deal. But, if you value clean, convenient, on time over the RFR 400 extra that you pay, then... 9568956 is a great deal. It's like telling folks that "7" is a nice place to go to. It is. If you can find it. I am not telling. _______________________________________________ Expat mailing list [email protected] http://www.lists.ru/mailman/listinfo/expat http://www.expat.ru/forum/
