cool ! Primorsky is the street out the front...think they were doing the street up when I was last in Odessa (2008)....women aside, I do love the opera / ballet / theatre building around the corner and the stroll on the sea front..
The opera house is designed from creator of the Vienna one. It was repaired nicely, you should have seen it 10 years ago.
theatre is pretty good there ..i saw CATS a few years ago there ,it was nice, but not in English ((
We had a local hash harriers group that dissolved and we use to meet at estrelita's, nice tex mex place but the locals chased out the American owner and place went to shit. that was technically the only expat hangout. All the other places are for tourists and rich locals and the hookers.
Another unique thing about Odessa, in the pubs the hookers sit there but do not let it be known they are hookers. As a friend once said , you risk rejection even from Hookers in Odessa,lol. often they decide they would rather chat with their friends than make money, weird.
