“Between the gritty honky-tonk of Coney Island to the south and the lowbrow affluence of Manhattan Beach to the north, today’s Brighton Beach is a Russian enclave that bustles with shops selling everything from $2 nightgowns to $200 tins of caviar,” says the Blue Cleaver blog, a production of the Bridge and Tunnel Club Cookery Division. The first stop of their Brighton Beach tour takes us to La Brioche (1073 Brighton Beach Avenue, 718-934-7709), where flaky pastries priced at $0.25 to $2 pair perfectly with the house coffee…
Anyway Café (111 Oriental Boulevard, 718-648-3906), serves Russian bistro fare and house-infused vodka. Patrons choose from many infusions, including mango, lychee, and horseradish (which apparently makes a mean bloody mary). Shots go for $5, and martinis are $8 or $9.
