In Petersburg it's ok to walk around with bottles of beer, you'll see everyone doing it. Of course, if you're a group of five girls, you might get some annoying attention, but nothing too scary (especially when it's broad daylight at 11 PM). My favorite beer was Baltika which is made in Piter. So I told all my friends to get it, and they bought out the shop so I was stuck with Tuborg! If you buy beer draft in a bar, it might be 50 rubles ($1.60) for a glass, but if you buy it in a kiosk or shop, it can be 15 rubles ($0.50) for a half liter bottle. Cheaper than water...

Georgian wine is incredible. I didn't even like wine until I tried some Akhasheni wine from Georgia. For the last day of my program, we bought a bottle (which came covered in burlap) and settled down with it next to the Hermitage. We enjoyed the semi-sweet variety, it was good to drink on its own. You can buy good Georgian wine for anywhere between 150-300 rubles ($5-10) at supermarkets. Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and Drinking

I was surprised when I mentioned that the nightlife is rich in the city and it is the same like in during the day. So it can be told that the life is 24 hours in the city. There are a lot of 24-hours coffee houses and many people in the streets, just walking or watching bridges' swinging. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

St. Petersburg celebrates "White Nights" ~ a period around the summer solstice when the sky only briefly darkens and instead the city is perpetually lit. Even in May, a month before the longest day of the year, the days are long and the sun is intense.
One of the nicest things during our trip was being able to stay outside and enjoy the atmosphere of the city ~ in good lighting ~ as late as 10 or 11 o'clock. If you can time your trip for May, you get the best of both worlds. . .wonderful hours of sunlight, but fewer crowds to deal with.
This photo was taken just a few minutes after 11, during one of our evening walks. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Take a few steps down from street level into a real Irish Pub with 14 varieties of beer and live music 5 nights a week. It seems odd that this is the only watering hole near the Marinsky Theater, the ultimate venue for classical music and ballet.
Perhaps some feel the need for some folk music and beer arter a highbrow evening. :) Service is light, atmosphere relaxed.
Televised Sports events may on cue.
The CCE (Celtic City Experience) Irish band with Jenja and Elena was very pleasant for listening and talking to friends. Some nights may be noisy with louder music. :) Theme: Live MusicAddress: 27 Dekabristov, Saint PetersburgPhone: 318 46 25Directions: Walk out of the Marinsky Theater and look across the wayWebsite: http://www.shamrock.ru/

It's worth to see draw bridges - many people walk along then embankments the whole night. You can take a water trip also. See my album about bridges.
There are 10 bridges over the River Neva and many bridges over other rivers and chanals. Nine bridges are drawn and one new bridge (the second way of this bridge they will finish soon) - non-drawn.
Lieutenant Shmidt Bridge is now under reconstraction and they built nearby a temporary bridge - people call this temporary bridge "Lieutenant Shmidt's son" :-) Leave a Comment Theme: People WatchingAddress: Along the Neva RiverDirections: Bridges over the Neva River, Malaya Nevka, Bolshaya Nevka

I heard the Valery Nagorny Trio. Valery is a well-known jazz saxophonist and composer. He may be teh best i have ever heard.
He plays many melodic standards such as "Round Midnight" to his own modern compositions. For the foreigner it is a delightful mix of familiar and new. I am waiting to hear Valery at the Monterey Jazz Festival. :) Valery is lately on tour in europe and America.
The Jazz Philharmonic Hall nightclub is a major venue for jazz in Saint Petersburg. The seating is cabaret tables with cocktails. The mural on the wall is of American jazz artist from the classic band era.
The audience is from casual to formal. A less demonstrative crowd than in US jazz venues. But obviously an appreciative audience. Nice place to go with friends to talk, hear good music and perhaps mingle a bit.

The so called 'WHITE NIGHTS' are a special time in Leningrad, when in july the sun shines day and night - not that intensive like in Spitzbergen, but I remember to have taken pics at 11.00 p.m.
.
This pic of the inside of Ermitage got that way, when additional light fell on it while opening the camera - but it still shows a bit of the atmosphere... Leave a Comment Theme: Other
