"Too easily he had become a creature of habit. Choosing a refuge where a solitary meal
might be transformed into a reverie offered him a chance for imagination. Alas no!
The restaurants that he would consider had dwindled down to only one or two in any of the cities
he would visit. Nevertheless that cold January evening he had tried to break the pattern.

from the famous National Hotel to the Pushkin monument looking for a rustic Georgian restaurant
where he had enjoyed a memorable meal with colleagues the last night on his previous visit to Moscow."
