In-Depth Information
Correa's has outlets all over the city, and though none are quite as cosy and quaint as the ori-
ated in a cement courtyard, but it does have outdoor seating, and the spacious, light-filled
interior is inviting too. Fresh ingredients and simple preparations guarentee the food is im-
peccable.
MARKET
DANILOVSKY MARKET
One of many Soviet-era giant farmer's markets, Danilovsky has been engulfed by the same
wave of gentrification as Moscow's parks and old factories. With uniformed vendors and
thoughtfully designed premises, it looks very orderly, if a tiny bit artificial. But it retains the
flavour of a good old Russian
rynok
- a busy, bustling place, full of activity and colour.
Even if you're not shopping, it's entertaining to peruse the tables piled high with multi-
coloured produce: homemade cheese and jam; golden honey straight from the hive; vi-
brantly coloured spices pouring out of plastic bags; slippery silver fish posing on beds of
ice; and huge slabs of meat hanging from the ceiling.

DRINKING & NIGHTLIFE
CLUB, CAFE
GIPSY
Euphoria reins in this postmodern, nomad camp of a bar that has a strategic rooftop position
on Red October. The decor is bright-coloured kitsch, which among other oddities means
fake palm trees and toilet doors covered with artificial fur. The DJ and live-music repertoire
are aptly eclectic.
You don't have to be rich to pass the face control, but some natural coolness does help.
