Varennichnaya 9
I wish I had some vareniks in the morning... Just like mom's!
Oh, how lucky. Here's just the kind with potatoes, stewed cabbage and mushrooms, three kinds of meat. And, of course, cherries. Just like when we were kids.

Blinnaya Gora
Before leaving Sergiev Posad, let's climb Pancake Mountain or, as Sergiev Posad residents say, "Blinka". This area used to be famous for its pancake houses. Alas, we can't treat ourselves now, but we can admire Trinity-Sergius Lavra in all its glory from above.

Mayakovsky Cottage
Let's switch over to intellectual leisure. We will go to see the "hut on chicken legs", which V.V. Mayakovsky repeatedly filmed during the summer months. Here we recreate not so much the authentic setting of those years, but the very essence of the rebellious poet.
Important: we recommend that you notify about your visit by calling the number given in the museum's official VKontakte group.

Vinsky toasted
Let's have dinner at a restaurant with home-made Balkan cuisine in Istra. The menu here was designed by a chef from Serbia itself.
We recommend paying attention to the meat dishes for which the Balkans are so famous. And, of course, a glass of wine to go with meat. Do you prefer Macedonian, Romanian, Bulgarian or Hungarian wines?
