| This
spot features outstanding service, great food, vodka
menu... as well as live russian and international
music.
This place is very authentic. The piano player even
looks like Vladamir Lenin! The food was very good,
the service was second to none. Would go back anytime.
I also like the variety of homemade flavored vodkas.
If you speak Russian, you probably will feel especially
at home in this rowdy haunt of New York’s Russian-émigré
elite. This lively place near the Theater District
serves authentic Russian food, tea and vodka. Despite
its name, there are many more vodkas to choose from
(more than 20 in all) than there are types of tea.
Borscht and blinis are favorites here. Many of the
vodkas are handmade by the owners with a variety of
flavorings. A prix fixe lunch and dinner are also
available. This cozy restaurant is softly lit and
rather romantic, but if you are allergic to cigar
smoke avoid the bar area.
The décor has a few old country touches, a
pianist plays nightly and the menu features such Russian
standbys as borscht and blinis with caviar for starters
and entrées like chicken Kiev and beef stroganoff.
For dessert, choose among an assortment of French
pastries. The raison d’être here is the
party atmosphere. After a few vodkas, you’ll
understand.
