«Draught» – is a narrow alley with benches and a cafe between Sumskaya and Mironositskaya str. Those who lived in strange 80th and 90th and now live in mysterious 2000 know and remember it well. The place has been changed but it hasn’t lost it’s special spirit, attractive atmosphere and mythology which continues to live in pictures and words of our compatriots. Those who wanted to get away of everyday life, senseless talks, unrecognized ideas – they came here, to the «Draught» – to the air of freedom, creativity and of course, a cup of double coffee. This wonderful place and wonderful time helped many bright people to become known not only in our city but all over the world.
