If you haven't gotten to the end of the Q line, I suggest taking an afternoon. I've shopped cheap groceries, tasted amazing food and sipped vodka, neat. New York Magazine breaks down the culture of Brighton Beach:
The biggest mistake once can make in Brighton Beach is to assume that you're seeing a passable facsimile of Russia...What you're actually seeing is a (likely Ukrainian) Jewish immigrant's idea of what an American's idea of Russia might be.
If you're in a shopping mood....Russian Standard? Pear Cream Soda? Amber?
Hungry? Try these incredible potato dumplings (buttery, with sauteed onions!) or borscht!
What they don't have on in the article: shops and shops of fur-lined boots. Incredibly warm, a fashion must that I discovered while visiting Ukraine...
