This is the market at the (north) end of October Prospect. If you zoom in on the picture you will see that the tanker covered in silver foil is selling KBAC (pronounced Kvas) which is the popular summertime drink made from Rye flour, usually non alcoholic - Ive tried it and unless you buy it from the Karelian Resteraunt it tastes foul. Think of getting a can of ginger beer and then adding a few spoonfulls of soil and some lemon juice before drinking and you have the idea.

Outside the resteraunt the themeing continues with the re-creation of a village fance and sled.
