Why It Feels Like St. Petersburg
Cobblestone squares like Columbia and River Streets echo the baroque facades of St. Petersburg's Nevsky Prospect, while moss-draped oaks line the waterfront reminiscent of the Neva embankments. The historic district teems with pastel townhouses that mirror the pastel hues of the Russian capital's 18th‑century palaces. Artists' studios and bustling cafés give the city a cultured buzz comparable to the Nevsky's literary cafés. Evening lanterns cast a golden glow that feels like a Russian twilight.
