Kyiv friendly prepared a list of places locals prefer to hang out in to give a musical touch to their evening leisure.
Finally, flea market religion reached Kiev. We do have people selling Soviet time stuff and old coins in Andrew's descent, second hand stores on the outskirts, but nothing like Brick Lane Flea Market in London where you can get D&G skirt and antique chairs for the cost of a bill in a cafe. I was excited to visit first Kiev Flea market Festival that is supposed to be repeated every month from now on.
Skiing in Carpatians at the end of March is not a myth. Here is a fresh comment from Jorge Alvarez from Barcelona, who shares experience of a trip to best Ukrainian ski resort Bukovel with Kyiv Friendly.

Ukrainians are lucky to have one extra weekend this Tuesday, March 8th. Women are excited and waiting for presents, flowers, attention. Men... I don't envy you. Figuring out what to buy, how to make her smile, make that day special for her.
If you still in doubts, here is my little advice - take your beloved to Grand Admiral Resort&Spa.
Last week I discovered a new place for a nice leasure time with a kid in Kiev which I definately recommend. Zoo 'Enotia' in Art Mall. What makes this Zoo special is that you are allowed to play, feed, hug animals. Friendly coatis, lovely racoons, lama, rabbits, cavies, hedgehogs and even a kangaroo.
Operating hours: 10.00-22.00
Entry ticket is UAH 120 for adults and UAH 100 for a kid. Kids under 3 years go for free!
Here are directions to Art Mall.
There's also a free bus from Vidubichy and Teremki subway stations every 30 minutes.
