Hi! Our plans fell through the last minute. Any recommendations on where to stay and where to eat in Kiev?
Taki Da in Kiev has great food and prices. A google search will pull it up. What type of place you looking to stay in?

I see there's a lot of  4 and 5 star hotels that are available for bargains Like 30 to $50 per night What would be the best hotel to choose? the best would be not to far from the Synagogue on 21 Osipova St.

I spent a few weeks there, nothing too exciting. You can wander around the Central Market...

If you are traveling with children you can try the Childrens Railway & Dolphinarium.

-1 All rav Landau said was that he doesn't know that it is Kosher but other rabanim from Ukraine and elsewhere say that it is Kosher.
Pepsi is Kosher according to the Eidah.

Chabad here in Odessa serves it at public functions. Most Uman pilgrims drink it.

I was this past Shabbos in Mezibuz,Ukraine and stayed in the kosher hotel there. It is under the hechsher of cadasya from London which is very reliable and they served Coke. I spoke to the mashgiach and he said that everybody except Rav Landau holds it’s ok. Even Rav Landau didn’t say its treif he is just Choshesh on something.

Contact info for shabbos accommodations in Mezibuzh?
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.
