Russian Dining
Looking for somewhere to go for dinner tonight? Try Borshtch n Tears, a Russian restaurant located near Harrods. With a menu full of traditional dishes and plenty of vodka to chose from, it’s a great place to sample authentic Russian cuisine. At times there is live music playing too, which adds to the fun and friendly ambiance.
Moscow Ballet

Premiering in 1935, the story tells of a group of dancers sent to entertain workers on a Soviet collective farm, and the comic trials and tribulations of the two groups together.
