A beautiful little takeout deli and grocery stocked with Eastern European specialties. Service can be scary, but hurts are eased with delicious dishes like incredible piroshki (dough pockets packed with creamy mashed potatoes, homemade sauerkraut or meat). Take-and-bake items impress, with rainbows of frozen dumplings (cherry, potato, beef, lamb, sour cream). Groceries span an array of smoked fish (sprats, sturgeon), imported cookies galore, dozens of Eastern European sausage varieties, and case after case of exotic meats and cheeses.
