Dear reader,
I have been writing my reviews for over 2 years now. I asked for your help in reviewing restaurants and adding new ones to my blog. There are, however, a few questions that I have not asked you yet:
- Is there anything that I can do, in your opinion, to improve my reviews and help you in choosing a restaurant or a store to visit?
- Is there any information that you would find helpful that I could add?
- Do you like the way my website is organized? Could you suggest any improvements?
- Do you have any information needs related to Russian food that are not yet fulfilled?
Please leave your feedback in comments to this post, or send me an email. Your help will be greatly appreciated and will help me to serve you better.
Regards,
Masha

Another great Russian food store in Manhattan. Named after a TV-famous store, this one carries a broad selection of foods, drinks, herbs, and souvenirs. This store also delivers and caters around NY area.
The website is http://moscowonhudson.com/
If you are in Manhatten and not sure where to go for the Russian food – I would definitely recommend checking out Moscow On The Hudson.

My mom and my sister went to San Francisco last weekend. While walking around the downtown, they stumbled upon Samovar Tea Lounge located just across from Yerba Buena Gardens. Mom said that their she had the best Russian tea she ever tried. And my mom knows tea. Especially Russian teas. She grew up in Russia.
They also told me that Samovar Tea Lounge has a nice selection of deserts and appetizers including blinchiki. Surprisingly, there is a plenty of Asian dishes in the menu as well. Samovar Tea Lounge has 2 locations – 1 in Castro and one in Mission district. I am definitely going there next time I am in the city…

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.

This place with an interesting name was founded by a former actor David Nemoyten back in 1930s. It is located inside a hotel and has the ‘good ol’ days’ vibe to it. The place is affordable and serves a variety of foods including both Russian and American cuisine. Here is a review I found:

Russian Tea house is another bakery that serves traditional Russian food in Campbell (2080 South Bascom Ave). The best way to get there is by taking 880S towards 17S, then take Hamilton exit, go East on Hamilton, and make a right on Bascom Ave. I haven’t been there myself but heard a lot of good reviews. Seems like it’s a small family owned business that has been around for a while.
