Comments: Day off today. Dawn and I walked in Ancil C. Hoffman Park this evening at sunset. Afterward we visited the Stolichniy Restaurant on Watt Avenue where we both ate too much--dumplings with mushrooms, borscht soup with sour cream, bread, and garlic dipping sauce for me, and chicken kiev with cucumbers, tomatoes, and French fries for Dawn, then a snowberries dessert with blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries in a yogurt and brandy sauce. Yum yum yum. ^_^ I felt lonely at first since we were the only couple in the restaurant, a television in the back corner playing Russian pop music videos. After a few minutes, about six or seven people arrived, conversing in Russian. Before we left, the entire restaurant had filled up. Service seemed slow due to one waitress (then two or three at the end), and perhaps one or two cooks, but the food tasted delicious. We'll probably return during lunch hour since it's not far from ARC. The cacophony of Russian voices reminded me of my time in Eastern Europe and Russia in 1997--fascinating and lonely at the same time, separated by language but united by delicious food. Happily the waitress speaks excellent English.
