Only three things can be "Kyiv-style": cutlet, pastry and our blanket! By the way, everyone from this list has become fat. KYIV from light cotton turned into lush wool. Just don't tell him that he patted. It's just that he really wants to keep you warm this winter. But we are not here to discuss other people's figures.
Very, very soon this crazy moment will come when everyone will be running around looking for gifts. And we really want to help you with this problem. For example, we have pre-ordered blankets for loved ones for all Christmas and New Year days. So what?
We agreed that a blanket with a map of the center of Kyiv is one of the most unexpected and original gifts that a person can receive for the holidays. Imagine that you wrap yourself up and start thinking how cool it was to walk down this street in Kyiv or sit in a cafe on Poshtova Street. And you fall asleep wrapped in your warm memories.
Yes, and why the center? The street on which I live is not visible on the blanket.
If we were to make KYIV with the streets where everyone lives, then the size of the blanket would not be 140 x 200 cm, but 1400 x 2000. Which is neither good nor bad. It's just that the fifteen-bed format of blankets is not too common. But agree, no matter what part of the city you live in, there will still be a place in the center that is as familiar to you as home. And it will be an ideal option for your foreign friends. The next time they come to Kyiv, there will be no need to buy maps or download offline guides.
Okay, jokes aside. Kyiv is actually a unique city, and its center is a confirmation of these words. Here is a store with your favorite brands, here is a restaurant with the most delicious desserts, here is a park where you had a date or a soulful walk with a loved one. And the most interesting thing is that the buildings on the central street, which you see for the hundredth time, never cease to amaze with their architecture and details. You just have to look closely. And all this is the center of our city.
But you know, it's not even about the wrapper, it's about the candy, and the candy here is your memories that permeated every street, cafe, park, art exhibition. You can look at old photos and remember all this, but we suggest you take a walk along the roads of our country. We promise that it will be warm not only for the body, but also for thoughts.

We thought that it would be unfair to talk about Kyiv and not talk about the favorite "central" places of everyone in our team.

Since my school days, Mariinsky Park has become special for me, namely, the place around the big fountain. They often got together with acquaintances from school self-government after educational trips, meetings, and just to go for a walk. We sang songs together, discussed different ideas and just had a good time. Today, it still remains in my memory as a warm and cozy place for walks with friends.

Quiet and peaceful Zolotovoritska street. This place is special to me — it is where the first Woolkrafts office was located: in an old country house with a lovely courtyard. Although I knew about it and often visited it long before that. And when we were choosing a place for the office, Oleg began to describe one building, and I did not listen: "the two-story one with the bust of Taras Shevchenko and the "book" at the entrance?". You know, as if this place chose me, and not the other way around.

Ohhh, it's hard to decide when you walk around the center again and again without highlighting your favorite places. I remember one roof, it particularly impressed me — a high-rise building on Velyka Vasylkivska, next to Arena City. There is a gorgeous view of Kyiv in the evening.

A couple of years ago, we were late for the Hedonism music festival, which takes place on Trukhaniv island. We run along the endless pedestrian bridge, the asphalt melts the soles of our sneakers, we choke on peaches, the juice runs down our fingers and down onto our T-shirts... suddenly there is music in all this chaos. Thick enough to fill stadiums, it slowly rises above the water and fills the air. I definitely remember pausing for a couple of seconds to capture this moment. And I still remember him when I cross the bridge.

Once a month, I make sure to plan my route through Giorgiivskyi Lane, then to Streetenska Street and so on to Lviv Square. If you like to find interesting details in the buildings of the city, then this is the place for you. By the way, many artists love this place just as much and leave their works in the form of murals, paintings and sculptures on the walls and roads. But the most important thing is that few people walk these streets, because of this they become as quiet and cozy as possible.

My favorite place on the map of Kyiv is the Arch of Friendship of Peoples, because I often performed there. To be honest, if it weren't for dancing, I wouldn't have everything I have now. This place inspires me the most.

A green island in the very center of the city, where it is nice to hide from worries — Taras Shevchenko Park. There are always many young people there, always well-groomed and beautiful. A park surrounded by atmospheric and native streets, where every corner, building, sign, passer-by is close. It's comfortable to walk there and that's all + my favorite pastry shop Volkonsky is nearby.
UPD: We have updated the design of Kyiv blanket! Find your favorite "central" place onKyiv map and recollect some warm stories.
