Москва в Бока-Ратоне
Bunny and I are sitting on the patio of Biergarten Boca Raton [1], listening
to the live musicians as they finish playing “Starway to Heaven” and segue
into “Knocking on Heaven's Door” when I spot a nearby restaurant called
“Mantana.” A weird name, “Mantana.” I have to look it up and see what type of
restaurant it is—
> (561) 757-3504 Проложить маршрут
>
> MANTANA Gastro Lounge
>
> Кафе (Boca Raton)
>
> Откроется завтра в 8:00

—and it's Russian!
Or rather, in Russian. I'm not surprised at a Russian restaurant; we have
restaurants from all over down here in Lower Sheol. And it might (maybe) be
fun to try it, as I'm not terribly familiar with Russian cuisine outside of
borscht and stroganoff (is that even Russian? I don't know).
But the text—Russian text!
I can't even find a link to the menu to see what's on it.
I could call, and while I can use Google translate [2] to ask “Какую пищу вы
обслуживаете?” I'm not sure I could pronounce it!
