Night-Flight Club Müstache Waxing with Cris and David

    • Arts

Promise an intriguing journey into the decadent world of Moscow's legendary Night Flight Club as we, your hosts David and Cris, delve into the club's illustrious history, notorious reputation, and sumptuous Nordic menu. Uncover the secrets behind the vodka shots served in frozen ice skates and the unexpected backstory of marinated herring in pickled beets and gherkins. 

Join us as we wander down memory lane, reminiscing about the club's high-class clientele, the luxurious imported items, and daily shipments of food from Sweden that made the Night Flight an oasis amidst famine. We'll discuss everything from the unique dishes to the intriguing aspect of prostitutes having to pay to work there. Get a taste of the wild and scandalous side of Moscow as we explore our favorite films featuring Russia or Russians and sex workers, and even decode some Led Zeppelin lyrics for good measure.

Finally, we cast a critical eye on the Night Flight, rating everything from its daring horseradish vodka shot to its exotic menu, and award it  golden rings. Despite its unfortunate closure due to the COVID pandemic, the Night Flight Club lives on in our hearts and minds as a testament to the finer vices in life. So grab a glass, sit back, and prepare for a lively discussion filled with laughter, reminiscence, and a good dose of vice.
