the Alhambra
also: Альгамбра
A Moscow pleasure garden/restaurant of the period, invoked by Chekhov as the venue where he imagines Mizinova out with the running comic figure "Trofim" -- part of the same register of fashionable Moscow entertainment spots named for comic color rather than any documented visit.
