Russian Tea Room

Russian Tea Room in New York is one of the oldest famous Russian restaurants in the United States. It was opened in 1926 by former Russian Imperial Ballet members. The restaurant has changed a few owners, was closed down a few times, and has recently reopened under a new owner but unchanged decor and atmosphere. New York Magazine article describes the interior as “vibrant red-and-green room with its samovars, its Christmas-all-year excess”. History has been happening in the Russian Tea Room and I would strongly recommend visiting it, if ever in New York.
