One of the more interesting things to do in Brighton Beach, if you’re up to it, is to go food shopping. My favorite store is M & I International Food, right on the main drag and across the street from the elevated train…It is fun just to walk around and see all of the food. More sausages and fish, especially smoked fish, and meat, and…, well you name it and they have it. This place is always packed and it helps to be a bit aggressive if you want to get the attention of the person behind the counter. It also helps if you speak Russian.”–1000 Bars
