Your Guide to 'The Best Russian Restaurants' Featured Russian Restaurants Russian Samovar Russian Samovar The spirit of Russian Samovar is Zastolye - lengthly joyous meals with lots of conversation and frequent toasts. There is nothing better! At Russian Samovar, everyone is a friend and if you come just once, you'll come back again and again. Owned and managed by Roman Kaplan, the "Samovar" was co-founded in 1986 by poet Joseph Brodsky and ballet dancer, actor and director Mikhail Baryshnikov. The "Samovar" is among the most important Russian-American cultural landmarks of New York. It is the meeting place for Russian intellectuals, bohemians, artists, celebrities and people from all walks of life. The restaurant features nightly live music, traditional Russian cuisine and an assortment of house made vodkas. Expect equal amounts Russian expats and theater-types at this authentic Russian joint rumored to have once been a Rat Pack hangout. Offering a solid menu of Russian dishes like basturma and borscht, live music and over 14 potent flavored and infused vodkas (including dill, horseradish, pear, ginger, caraway seed and kiwi.) Keep an eye out for a lurking Mikhail Baryshnikov, as he’s part owner. Insider Tips: Live Music Nightly! The pre-theater prix-fixe is all night; there's also a private party space. If you speak Russian, you probably will feel especially at home in this rowdy haunt of New York's Russian-émigré elite. The décor has a few old country touches, a pianist plays nightly and the menu features such Russian standbys as borscht and blinis with caviar for starters and entrées like chicken Kiev and beef stroganoff. For dessert, choose among an assortment of French pastries. The raison d'être here is the party atmosphere. After a few vodkas, you'll understand.
