Brooklyn Local Cafe

An ideal place to wear a beanie hat and be ironic, this little hipster local also does a great bagel. While salmon and cream cheese is disappointingly missing from the menu, the alternatives are well-toasted, full of salad and delicious all the same. The fairy lights on the ceiling and comic posters on the walls give the place a great underground feel and distract from the owners’ clear penchant for brown, so if you don’t mind a bit of smoke it’s a lovely place to escape the Petersburg rain. Bagels are from R160-240.

Griboedova – Walk down the road to the left of the Kazan’ Cathedral, cross the river at the StPb State Economics building. Stop to admire the lovers’ padlocks on Bankovsky Most’.
