All those old things are still there, now layered with the new \u2014 Moscow of 100 open kitchens with tattooed chefs, young girls with velvet pasha pants working the maitre d\u2019 desk. Moscow of boulevards, wind-swept, as long as the steppes, full of men and women in kick-ass boots chatting, gossiping. Shiny food courts that seems to spin like a lit aquarium of world cultures. The young with a niche passion, a slash of bone, pale oyster cheek. There are still drivers guarding their Mercedes tank, bald-headed, spread-legged and packing as they wait for the owner. That part of the dark ambitious &#8217;90s is evolving as Moscow claims its place, transforming old kultur into a place on the culture map. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.jillpearlman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_7178-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2069\" width=\"528\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.jillpearlman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_7178-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.jillpearlman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_7178-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.jillpearlman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_7178-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><figcaption>Gallery space in the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.jillpearlman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_6924-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2070\" width=\"510\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.jillpearlman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_6924-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.jillpearlman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_6924-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.jillpearlman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_6924-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><figcaption><br \/><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moscow of eclectisms.
