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.

“Primorski is located in Brighton Beach, “Little Odessa”, Brooklyn. Primorski is one of the oldest and finest Russian Restaurants in New York. In reality, Primorski is both a Russian Restaurant and Georgian Restaurant. Primorski’s cuisine has a Georgian flavor. This is due in part to the former owner, Buba Khotoveli, who is from the city of Kutaisi. Georgia is one of the 15 republics of the former USSR, and is located near the Black Sea. We cover our tables in a delicious smorgasbord of Cold appetizers, hot appetizers, Shish Kebabs, and of course the Russian Vodka. We also carry a large selection of Georgian Wines for the light drinkers. Primorski is also one of the most happening Russian Nightclubs in New York. At night, Primorski becomes a bustling Russian Nightclub. We have live music every night. Primorski also has a large dance floor so that you can dance the night away. So enter into the fun, delicious, and exciting world of Primorski. Book your next birthday, anniversary, or just come and party at Primorski.”
