The New York Welcome
Arrive Curious. Stay a While.
The best New York evenings are not always the most tightly scheduled. At Russian Samovar, you can begin with Eastern European dishes, move into conversation over drinks, and let live music change the pace of the night.
Its West 52nd Street address puts the restaurant in the Theater District, but the experience is as worthwhile on a night without tickets as it is before or after a show.
