Moving further toward Khreshchatyk metro station, we will cross over to its even side and find ourselves at the beginning of Prorizna Street. Prorizna has always been considered an elite street. On the right, on the site of the State Television and Radio building, from 1872 to 1919, the most elite and at the same time the sweetest place in pre-revolutionary Kyiv was located, George’s Confectionery.

At that time, George’s, one of the six confectionery establishments in Kyiv, was considered iconic and the most prestigious. The most expensive varieties of coffee were offered here, such as Mocha, Java, Ceylon, and the most famous people of Kyiv came to enjoy ice creams at the confectionery. Cakes, sweets, shaped and bar chocolate and other delicacies from George’s were loved by the wealthiest residents of Kyiv.
