The Afisha Yeda Food Festival was today's destination of choice. A section of Gorky Park was transformed into a gastronomic fairground for one day only, operating for 10 hours -from noon until 10PM.
We met up with a few friends around 2:30PM and spent the better part of the afternoon walking, gawking and sampling the edible delights on offer. The late summer weather was perfect, offering a mix of sun and shade as we wandered through the exhibition grounds. There was a Farmer's Market section, various stages set up throughout the space offering Master Classes, booths of independent restaurants and caterers -all showcasing the best of what Moscow and the surrounding region has to offer.
