After reading about a placed called Belarus II in the Gothamist, Debussy and I decided to make the trip to Brighton Beach to see it ourselves. She's a big big Belarusian fan.
When you go in the store, on the left is a long counter of prepared salads (think macaroni salad and egg salad, only Belarusian), pastries, and some other things. A lot of it wasn't labelled in English. On the right are the meats and fishes. In the middle you can find things in cans and jars. The back has some buckets of pickled foods, including apples.
Debussy and I got 2 of the salads. The cashier assumed we spoke Russian or Belarusian or something because we look so slavic, but we don't. We went to the McDonalds down the street to get some forks and try them.
They weren't very good. Maybe next time we'll pick two different ones and get something better. Then we can take them to Coney Island and eat them at the beach.
We also went to the Key Food next door. It's slightly cheaper than my local Key Food.
