November

A great event for food lovers is coming up next weekend. The Russian Holiday Boutique at the Holy Virgin Protection Church in Nyack. If you’ve been to Nyack, you’ve seen that beautiful golden dome. Now the promises of what’s inside are not just intricate carvings and paintings inside the church — they are also delicious borscht, dumplings and pies.

I went last year and have been saving these photos for you all year long. The church:

Next to the sanctuary is the community room. You walk in and the place is filled with food and gifts:

You buy tickets for the different foods here at the door. This is the menu:

The food line wraps around the corner of the room.

Note the “bistro” sign:

A few of the choices. Pirozhki or Russian pies: Pastry filled with meat or cabbage.

Sibirskie Pel’meni: Siberian Meat Dumplings;

Vareniki a Kartofelm: Potato-filled dumplings:

Service with a smile:

Pork Shish-kebab

Everyone gathers at the tables:

I can’t wait to go again this year. I hope I’ll see you there!
