On our Way to and from the Dorogomilovsky Market

This woman was selling her goods out of the grocery cart on  the sidewalk.

The lace curtains in the windows looked like evergreen trees to me.

Fog obscuring the International Business Center

Samovars for sale

The market name on the wall in the background of the photo.  But we are inside of the market gates, there is no tell tale sign outside. . .I guess if you live here you know where it is.

The building with the fresh food market inside.

Near Evropensky Mall is a market with outdoor stalls, small kiosks and a huge indoor fresh food market.  It is where I went to buy one of my Thanksgiving turkeys.  I knew that I would have to take the family back because it was just so cool.  The outdoor stalls and kiosks remind me of Izmailovsky Market but the indoor market was like nothing I had ever seen, although if I had to pick something I would say Pike Place Market in Seattle Washington.  There was fresh meat and fish and fruits and vegetables all under one roof.  Those of you from large cities or who travel a lot may be familiar with this type of market, I was not.  Each seller had his own section where he sold fowl, or pigs, or honey, or fish, or caviar, or or or  On the door was a sign saying no cameras, so I complied, I must get better at using my phone as a undercover camera.  There were workmen coming in with grocery carts bearing just butchered sections of animals, you could walk up to the counter and ask for a cut of meat and they would cut it right there and then.  It was warm and humid and loud and very very cool.  R wants to go back to buy a goose and a salmon, on separate trips I hope and when he'll be home to help cook!
