Dave took us to this awesome Belarus market in Brighton Beach. I'm holding their best product: pickled watermelon, tomatoes, apples, and half-sours. (You can see Dave is holding the critical watermelon piece by the tongs). Before we arrived, Dave warned us: the Russian ladies put up with no English and no funny business. Keep your head down and your comments to yourself, and you'll be okay. Eric had to take this picture in total secrecy. The store was remarkable: nothing in English. No products. No language. I was surprised we didn't pay in rubles.
