New eatery boasts Old Country flavors
Those seeking Russian delicacies won't have to leave the country for original and authentic Russian food, dessert and drink. Rimma and Efim Brisker have extended their smaller operation, the Russian Cafe and Deli on 1712 S. Winchester Blvd., into an even bigger one, with the grand opening of Restaurant Nievsky at 1740 S. Winchester.
In April, the Campbell Planning Commission approved the couple's request to expand their deli into a restaurant next door. The 2,200-square-foot space will serve lunch during the day, but in the evening will transform into a festive celebration complete with hard liquor at its full bar, a small dance floor and a band called the Pearls. After 12 years in the business, the Briskers decided to open the new restaurant as a place for their loyal customers to munch on piroshki, golubsky (cabbage rolls), blintzes, smoked fish, lox, and their salad namesake, the Nievsky.

Pair open martial arts academy
Billy Blanks, better step aside for the new guys in town. Mark Saia and Chris Blake, co-owners of the Healing Arts Academy, have opened a second South Bay location right here in Campbell. The two have a combined 38 years of martial arts experience in several martial areas. Saia and Blake, who first met at a Sunnyvale water ski club, decided to open a business together after conducting classes at Cisco Systems, 24 Hour Fitness and Intel. Saia, who is trained in Chinese medicinal practices, reflexology and massage, will teach tai chi to students; Blake, a London native, will teach kick-boxing.
Three other instructors will also teach aikido, weapons and tae kwon do. Added bonus for this month: the academy is charging only $8 for a single-session class of choice. Classes are open to all ages.
