About

What sets Petersburg apart from other cities I've been to is the way people here treat gray weather and long winters as a reason to linger indoors over tea and conversation, not something to escape. I know the courtyards you can cut through, the bakeries that still smell right at seven in the morning, and which embankment stays quiet when the tourists crowd Nevsky. Ask me about the ritual of the drawbridges at night — locals plan their whole evening around them.
