Russian Sushi?
One of my coworkers who just returned from a weeks-long trip to St. Petersburg stopped by my cube today to see if she could help with any questions before I left. I asked about food near the apartment where I'll be staying, and she said that there were a surprising number of sushi restaurants in the area. She added that they stay open until 2 AM (it stays light out there until *very* late right now), which I found super duper uber awesome.
My curiosity piqued, I located the apartment on Google Maps and searched for nearby sushi. It looks like I'm going to be surrounded by it!
I wonder whether they use Japanese seafood terms there. If I say "unagi" will they know that I want eel, or or will I have to say угорь?
I shall find out and report back.

Talked to coworker Yakov and he raved about how amazing and beautiful St. Petersburg is. He went on for a while about the museums and the architecture and how it was very different from other Russian cities. From what he said you'll have a great trip, although he didn't mention sushi...
