1. What was the first thing that struck the author during his visit to St Petersburg?
   The architecture was the first thing that struck the author. (Первое, что поразило автора, — архитектура.)
2. How does the author describe the atmosphere on Nevsky Prospekt at night?
   The passage mentions a walk along the Neva embankment, not Nevsky Prospekt. The city looked especially romantic in the evening, and illuminated bridges reflected in the water, creating a magical atmosphere. (В тексте говорится о прогулке по набережной Невы, а не по Невскому проспекту. Вечером город выглядел особенно романтичным, а освещённые мосты отражались в воде, создавая волшебную атмосферу.)
3. What dishes did the author try?
   The author tried traditional St Petersburg pies and borscht. (Автор попробовал традиционные петербургские пироги и борщ.)
