I shall initially be staying in a hostel located around the corner from the Hermitage. As I have only spent 2-3 weeks at a time visiting SPB in the past, I never expanded much beyond kebabs for my meals. Now with a long term stay, I will be in need of finding local, inexpensive markets or bazars in the city center to purchase my food from. Therefore, any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Also, I will be looking for a new pair of dress shoes with appropriate winter soles and a brand of boots called "RALF" (I understand styled like my Doc Martins but better for the Russian climate). Thanks for any advice you may be able to offer.

Though of course, this is preferred.
