Yeliseev’s Food Hall (Yeliseevskiy Gastronom)

  1. Everyone should have an innocent-looking book that lets you hide things 🙂 At my library we have an emptied-out book that hides a geocache.

    What an amazing store! More ornate than Harrod’s! I especially like the photo of the shelves of food: beautiful light.

    1. I did love the ‘hidey’ book! I love that a library has done this – as people are often aghast that a book would be damaged – but for a great reason.
