Helpfulness
Itaka is the best restaurant in Novopskov, as many locals say.
This restaurant along with some cafes: Prichal ("Moorage") and Bereg ("Riverbank") is located behind Market Square on the bank of the River Aydar.
This is where you can have a good shish kebab, as locals say, meaning that tghe meals are good there.
Young people prefer cheaper places like Promin store+cafe ("Ray") in May Day Street and Raduga ("Rainbow") cafe in Market Square.
I only had a snack at Ukraina cafeteria in lenin Street.
There are several cafes in Market Square too, among them Levada cafe.
