current Soviet structure). Like any Ukrainian market, it is always rich in seasonal fruit
and vegetables.

Drinking & Nightlife
Smoky basement bars dominate the action in Kyiv until late spring, when the drinking
masses move outside to summer terraces. Beware of the new law that bans drinking alco-
hol in the street, or you'll become an easy target for the police.
Kupidon
PUB
(Cupid; vul Pushkinska 1-3/5; 10am-10pm; ; Kreshchatyk)
Apocalyptically dubbing it-
self 'the last shelter for the Ukrainian intelligentsia', this is in fact a missionary station
spreading Ukrainian culture in the Russian-speaking capital. Siege mentality apart, Cupid
is a lovely Lviv-styled
knaypa
(pub) with an attached book shop - a favourite drinking
den for nationalist- leaning and cosmopolitan bohemians alike.
