Story of a City

Author: There once was a city of Lviv. It is more or less always been. Since at least the mid XX century, any citizen of the Soviet Union could theoretically come into it. And after the collapse of the USSR - anyone could come here. But the city was particularly necessary to nobody.
Yes, he was the old center. Yes, a couple of cozy streets. Yes, the road somewhere.
But five years ago, suddenly people began to say: "Lviv - an awesome city, you have not been there?" Suddenly the Lions appeared on the radar. Suddenly it felt good to go there. Suddenly people began to come out satisfied.
In Ukraine, there is much to go for the benefit of the soul. For example, Chernivtsi, which from my point of view stotysch heartier times Lviv:




But no one draws Chernivtsi * IT * am all draw on the Lions.



Where did this interest?

In 2007, three guy came and opened the restaurant "Kryivka." He has no signs. There are wooden door. We must tap into it and shout "Glory to Ukraine!". Partisans will open with a gun, who asked if any of Muscovites came or commies. Pour 50 grams to check and empty inside.



Inside - basement in the spirit of never-ending nationalist Ukrainian underground and dugouts.



Muscovites - the main audience, of course.



In one of the halls running shooting, you can shoot at Lenin.



Treats guerrilla joys - pig snouts, say.



The restaurant was so successful that the guy started to open three places, one after another. Now the holding company called "Fest".

Example "Festa" - one of the most important in the post-Soviet space. It shows that without any help from the state or the government can come up out of the blue a project that will be a magnet for millions of tourists. All who come to the city, in fact, come to visit one of Festovskih restaurants. Projects are so brazen, interesting, colorful and crazy, what about them is simply impossible not to remove the TV report, which will be the best advertisement.

Cafe "Kerosene lamp" is devoted to the lamp, which is kind of like, invented in Lviv.



From time to time on different floors something happens. People need after performances.



Cafe "Under the Golden Rose" - Jewish. There are no prices on the menu, the waiter need to bargain at the end. How storgueshsya so much and pay.



People need Legend. Therefore, there is a "House of Legends". Here everything - from the sounds of Lviv in different tubes.



Before waiters dwarf.



Visitors can dine at the cage. Top stick legs lions.



One of the rooms is dedicated to the pavement. On the wall - counter left in this city of rubble.



On the roof - a sculpture of a chimney sweep. The side of his pipe, which you can try to get a coin.



And even higher - a car with paddles on the springs. Bobs so that all the screaming. Come, sit down, screaming and taking pictures.



In the coffee shop coffee extract the miners.



The Masonic restaurant dish of wild boar is illuminated.



Cafe "Masoch" all devoted masochism wishing may handcuffed or whip.



Such things attract people to the cities. At the same time people go to the exhibition, will live in hotels, will arrive at the airport. People want bread and circuses. They do not want a dull municipal furious boring shit.
Someday it will understand and in Russian cities.
It's so obvious.
