Food Scene

it's absolutely a must if you're a meat lover: their dishes are delicious, yet not pricy at all: I don't know any other place you can get damn good steak for $15? It's important to book in advance (at least several hours or even a day in case of weekends).

This place is a gem, it has a nice rooftop with a great view over the city and especially St. Isaac Cathedral. It makes sense to visit it during the rainy days as well, though it won't be so magic. Go get a coffee there and enjoy the view.

Their service is awful and coffee sucks, yet people line up there to get their "пышки" (pyshka), which is a local type of donut. This particular place works since 1958 and hasn't changed since then at all, which is probably why everybody is so passionate about it.

There is a bakery chain of "Булочная Ф. Вольчека" (F. Volchek Bakery), each is numbered and they're scattered all over the city. They offer superb value for a reasonable money. The closest one to the apartments is on "Grazhdansky 76".

I am not quite into contemporary art, but this folks often feature quite interesting collections and artists. This venue is also a spot for music lovers -- it's common for them to invite nice and iconic musicians.

Drinks & Nightlife

Iconic punk like bar where you can do the laundry while sipping the cup of vodka with your new acquaintances. Trash parties every now and then, underground DJs, lovely bartenders. For some reason, I see a lot of germans in here.
