The feedback seems OK and I haven't seen any objections so it's Glavpivtorg on Sunday May 3 at 7 pm.
I'll make a reservation - it looks like we'll have 6-10 people.

Can't find a menu in english anywhere on the web. Here is a good review review though:

Thanks -- my wife and I will be there.

I asked a Russian friend to look over that Glavpivtorg menu for me -- before somebody mentioned they have an English one. She's still going to get back to me with some recommendations, which I'm sure can't hurt.

I can see this alphabet thing can be a problem. I think I'm going to start studying.

JenGal, langleyoaker, and I liked the fish and cabbage pies. The Georgian tomato salad was good too.

Glavpivtorg is great -- good eats and not too expensive.

I will be there 5/3! Not part of any mileage run, unfortunately :[ (I live down the street..)

Will be fun meeting you guys.

Is there a sign on the restaurant reading "Glavpivtorg"?

Thanks -- it doesn't quite look like "Glavpivtorg," but I'm sure I can now find it.

BTW, the place looks nicer than what I expected. For some reason, I was expecting more of a "hole in the wall" kind of joint.

Yes, but it's in Cyrillic.

Right, that's why the photo is so helpful.

After reading a few Moscow threads, I had a feeling I couldn't just look for a sign that said "Glavpivtorg."

With the nearby subway access, this one does look easy, though.

Hey, where were you guys before the flight back yesterday? I was sitting in the LH lounge at DME, FT tag proudly displayed, but no one came by and I didn't see any other yellow tags...

I'm in, and I presume I012609 is as well.

NoVaRS, we'll see you at the lounge or on the plane Friday (you can look for my FT bag tag).

Sounds good - I will hopefully have my FT tags as well (finally ordered last week). I look forward to meeting everyone else Sunday night at Glavpivtorg.

MY BAD. I am so sorry as219. I did go there with a friend for a little bit. Nice lounge! We were kinda just into discussing the great time we had and planning our next trip, I completely forgot! When we were walking onto the plane I stopped dead and told him - "OMG I forgot to look for the FTer in the lounge!" I knew you were flying business so I didn't wander up to that section being meek and embarrased .... (okay, maybe I'm not particularly meek).

OH - and I don't have FT tags ... guess that's something i need to look into.

We had met up with a great group of FTer's for dinner Saturday nite and most of that group was staying longer than monday, so my mind was thinking that the FT social was over ... and, btw, Green ended up leaving Sunday not Monday.

Again ... sorry! Hope you had a great time too! Me +1 have decided weekend jaunts to Europe are very doable!!
