Russian Tea Room - "For the past eighty years, New York’s defining cultural moments have taken place at Russian Tea Room," located at 150 W 57th St. "Ever since members of the Russian Imperial Ballet founded the restaurant in 1927, it has been a second home for boldface names and the intellectual elite—an exclusive enclave where actors, writers, politicians, and businessmen planned their next deals and feted their friends’ latest Carnegie Hall performances. The RTR Funding Group, Inc., reopened The Russian Tea Room’s doors, retaining the best of its history, authenticity, and architecture while offering culinary masterworks and a menu of forty vodkas that includes varieties new to the United States."
