Somewhere in the middle of Nevsky Prospekt lies Jelisjevs, an exclusive delicacy store housed in this lavishly decorated yearly 20th century modern building.
Maybe that was my favorite place in Saint Petersburg. Just so way over the top it was crazy.
Selling all different kinds of delicacies, displayed in such an exquisite manner. I doubt this confectionery was particularly tasty, though. Sugar and color.
They also had a cafe in the middle of the store. After hours of walking around town, we decided to sit down. Celebrate a little. Order in some fine vodka. Pretend we were Russian for a moment.
And then we had some Russian sparkling wine, to celebrate my new job. Russian alcohol is quite potent. We ended up having plenty of giggles under the giant pineapple. A nice last afternoon in Saint Petersburg.
