In 1894 the old Perlov Tea House was redecorated in the style of a Chinese pagoda. Today
this fantastical facade contains the Tea-Coffee Store - a simple name for a place that is filled
with coffee beans from Italy, Brazil, Costa Rica and Kenya, and tea leaves from China, In-
dia and South Africa.
SOUVENIRS
SRETENIE
Not much remains of the 14th-century Sretensky Monastery - just the main church, Vladi-
mirsky Cathedral, and, as it turns out, the gift shop. Get your icons - hanging icons, tabletop
icons, triptych icons - and other souvenirs to soothe the spirit.
OUTDOORS
FACTORY-EXPEDITION
For all your hunting expedition needs, find this tiny shop below the restaurant of the same
name. As well as guns, knives, camping equipment and outdoor expedition gear, you'll also
find some strange and scary souvenir items from the great Russian countryside.
