TRANSYLVANIA
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ;
495-629 8786; www.transylvania.ru ; Tverskaya ul 6/1, Bldg 5;
11am-10pm; Teatralnaya)
From the courtyard, look for the black metal door that leads down into this dungeon of a
shop, which houses room after room of CDs, in every genre imaginable. If you are curious
about the russky rock scene, this is where you can sample some songs.
FOOD & DRINK
YELISEEV GROCERY
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; Tverskaya ul 14; 8am-9pm Mon-Sat, 10am-6pm Sun; Pushkinskaya)
Peek in here for a glimpse of pre-revolutionary grandeur, as the store is set in the former
mansion of the successful merchant Yeliseev. It now houses an upscale market selling caviar
and other delicacies. It's a great place to shop for souvenirs for your foodie friends back
home.
BOOKS
RESPUBLIKA
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 495-251 6527; www.respublica.ru ; 1-ya Tverskaya Yamskaya 10;
10am-9pm; Mayakovskaya)
It's a bookstore, but it's also a gift shop, a music shop and a cafe. This is the place to shop
for a quirky gift for your friend who (you think) has everything. You will surely be proven
wrong. For example, do they have a frog shower cap? Swarovski eye mask? A French toast
imprint of the Eiffel Tower?
