I have been writing my reviews for over 2 years now. I asked for your help in reviewing restaurants and adding new ones to my blog. There are, however, a few questions that I have not asked you yet:
Is there anything that I can do, in your opinion, to improve my reviews and help you in choosing a restaurant or a store to visit?
Is there any information that you would find helpful that I could add?
Do you like the way my website is organized? Could you suggest any improvements?
Do you have any information needs related to Russian food that are not yet fulfilled?
Please leave your feedback in comments to this post, or send me an email. Your help will be greatly appreciated and will help me to serve you better.
Not too long ago I was notified of a new internet Russian food store russianfooddirect.com
It has a great selection of all the necessities and more. The prices are reasonable, shipping is almost free or very discounted across the US. The categorization is great, it even features kosher and diet selections.
Another great Russian food store in Manhattan. Named after a TV-famous store, this one carries a broad selection of foods, drinks, herbs, and souvenirs. This store also delivers and caters around NY area.
Russian Fairytale, established in June 2000 as a Russian delicacies shop, is a large Russian center in Oxford. The restaurant serves exceptional food with a wide variety of salads, soups, home baked pastries, traditional Russian dishes, and beverages. Russian gifts, toys, and souvenirs are offered for sale in store and on the website as well.
“Welcome to The St Petersburger. A place where you will find a vast collection of Russian gifts such as matryoshkas, watches with the Soviet and Russian symbols, porcelain, linen, fascinating stone decor, Faberge eggs, Khokhloma, Gzhel - and the best of Russian souvenirs and handicrafts.” - This is an excerpt from the home page of The St Petersburger - Russian memorabilia, food, and souvenirs store. Although this is not a specialized groceries online store there is still a wide selection of various Russian delicacies. What I found to be the most interesting detail about The St Petersburger is that among food and souvenirs they offer Faberge eggs.
The website description says “Russian Food Online, Affordable Prices, Huge Selection”. It reflects the content pretty well, I must say. I like the design of this store - everything has a Russian spirit in it: the fonts, the images, even the layout. This store would be more convenient for people on the East coast, because shipping to the West coast states is extra $10.
This internet store of Russian foods features a great selection of authentic Russian dishes and drinks. This website is very well organized into sections and categories that allows for easy browsing and finding what the consumer is looking for. My personal favorite is the Cosmetics section. It features the Dead Sea line of cosmetics that makes me nostalgic and brings back memories of my hometown stores.
Here is another online Russian food shop. It is specialized in canned and other long-term storage food items such as dills, candy, canned fish, etc. They even have borsch soup for sale. This store has a flat rate for shipping to anywhere in the world. The website adress looks a bit suspicious I thought, but I double checked - it is http://www.eroticuniverse.co.uk/
Why limit my site to physical stores and restaurants? There is a great deal of Russian food portals online, which are not worse, and even better sometimes that the walk-in-able ones. Here is a great example: http://www.russianfoods.com/ . It has all the necessities like groceries, pharmacy, Georgian wine, flowers and souvenirs, books, videos, and other very useful Russian things. The only inconvenience about this type of store is you’d have to pay for shipping and wait for your food for a couple of days.
