Stray Dog Café
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stray Dog Cafe ((Podval Brodyachy Sobaki)) (aka Stray Dog Cellar) is located at Ploshchad Isskustv, Square of the Arts up to Summer Gardens, St. Petersburg, Russia.
The Stray Dog Cafe was a meeting place for famous writers and poets during the early 20th century. The Acmeist poets (Gumilyov, [[Mandelshtam, Kuzmin, etc.) gathered there to discuss theories of literature. They considered themselves "'stray dogs' shunted aside by proper aristocratic society" which led to the name. The cafe was in disrepair for many years and reopened in 2001. [1]
