It's not just where Martin Cruz Smith set his novel — which
everyone around here knows and finds very funny. It's also a great spot
to get an ice cream cone, take a walk along the Moscow River, and watch
the locals at play — having a picnic, drinking, drinking some more,
singing and cavorting. Make a point of entering the
park
at the Park Kultury metro station. You can't miss it: There's a huge,
Brandenburg Gate–style structure that sits outside the entrance. Proceed
toward the river, skip the Ferris Wheel, continue parallel to the river
all the way to the Uzbek restaurant Chihana, where it would be very
wise to get one of their specially prepared lamb dishes, a glass or two
of red wine and green tea. Outside seating is available, or patrons can
stretch out with a large pipe, or
houka, in a darkened indoor
lounge that feels more Central Asian than European. (It's a five-minute
walk to Chihana from the Park Kultury metro; ask someone for directions
toward the Neskuchny Sad bridge. The restaurant is near the rear
entrance of Gorky Park and the lovely Neskuchny Sad garden.) After your
meal, follow the path out of the park to the yellow and blue pedestrian
bridge that spans the river; some of the best views of the city can be
found here.
Gorky Central Park of Culture and Leisure (Russian: "Центральный парк культуры и отдыха (ЦПКиО) имени Горького") is an amusement park in
Moscow, named after
Maxim Gorky.
