Under wraps for restoration, the buildings along the north side of Stables Square is where the imperial court once kept its horses and transportation. Access is still possible to the Church of the Saviour Not Made by Human Hand (the classical building in the centre of stables with the Doric columns); this is where Pushkin's funeral service was held.
The south side has been colonised by upmarket restaurants and bars, as well as the fun Museum of Soviet Arcade Machines , tucked away in the courtyard.
