For ninety-eight years, New York's defining cultural moments have taken place at Russian Tea Room. Ever since members of the Russian Imperial Ballet founded the restaurant in 1926, 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.

    We did brunch, which was great; we looked at and saw the tea service, which looks great also. Definitely is worthy of NYC - premium dining experiences!

    Excellent, classic and delicious. A legendary NYC institution which lived up to the hype for us. Pricey, but what isn’t in NYC? Go. You won’t regret it. We went for an early dinner before a show at Carnegie Hall. Perfect.
