Russian Tea Room
By Restaurant Girl Nov 04, 2006
On the highly anticipated opening night of the Russian Tea Room, doormen amiably guarded the red carpeted-entrance of the famed institution. As I passed through the original revolving door, it was like entering a time warp, a return to the 1980's when women still wore hats and men suited up for a formal dining affair. I took pause at the bar to observe a small crowd of well-dressed tourists and grown ups, who had gathered to catch a glimpse of the newly reinvented 80-year-old institution. Aside from the notably absent Tiffany stain-glassed ceiling, the first floor dining room remains essentialy intact: dark green-painted walls with gold trimming, kitschy light fixtures adorned with red Christmas tree bulbs, antique Russian samovars and bright red leather booths, all evoked a perpetual holiday glow. While I could do without the bright lighting and the gimmicky, Christmas tree bulb-decked chandeliers, the space celebrates an old world charm that seems all but lost on NYC's 21st century, industrial chic restaurant scene.
