| | Brighton Beach: digging a Russian gem — JSCMS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | It could be a Saturday night in Kiev, but it’s not--it’s Brighton Beach, U.S.A. Brighton Beach, known as Little Odessa, is technically part of Brooklyn, but you wouldn’t know it to walk down Brighton Beach Avenue, where the signs are all written in Cyrillic lettering and the women are dressed in head-to-toe fur. |
 | | The supper clubs are the soul of Brighton Beach, where guests watch stage shows, wash down Russian delicacies with vodka and dance all night. |
 | | Being in Brighton Beach is like being in another country--but one bereft of outsiders. |
