Fun, good drink, great food, interesting places, pretty ladies - on aWritten by Richard Zastrow
A great place to go: Plovdiv! Once you're here, just follow crowds and you'll find yourself in midst of great convivial Bulgarian hospitality ... excellent food and drinks, lively music, beautiful girls and ... well, you get idea. It is just not possible to mention one or two favorite clubs, restaurants or bars. The biggest crowds are on wide pedestrian shopping street in city's center, but on every side street you'll find charming restaurants with great food and prices that will stretch your dollars farther that you ever thought possible. A friend and I had a great dinner of salads, potatoes and meat plus coffee and beverage for $3.50 USD total. In two years, I have experienced very few disappointments in Plovdiv. You won't go wrong at restaurants in hotels, but you will miss a tremendous opportunity if you fail to set out down a side street and let your nose lead you to a great "mehana" (barbecue) and your ears will find way to good entertainment. Our early "beer festival" gets underway next week and it's gonna be great!The Plovdiv markets are bursting with first of this year's locally-grown produce. Last week we enjoyed beautiful sweet juicy strawberries at peak of perfection! Fresh strawberries, sprinkled with a little sugar and cold, thick Bulgarian yoghurt! MMMMmmm! And now dark red (black) cherries are just beginning to appear. The Plovdiv region is heart of all Bulgaria's fresh produce; our restaurants are never lacking for fresh fruits and vegetables to serve. Grown here, produce is fresher and less expensive ... it is no wonder that food quality and prices in Plovdiv restaurants is better than any other city in Bulgaria.
