Best Russian Restaurants in Ditmars Steinway

Getting a bit expensive but still the prettiest spot in the city for thanksgiving dinner.

This is the place where everybody knows your name even if this is your first visit. A rare place where people go to be with each other, not just eat. There is always life music late at night. Sometimes it is blues, on other days you can catch gypsy performance. On this visit a random walk in from the street treated dinners to a soulful ballad. Great voice. This encouraged one of the dinners to perform a beautiful classic. Also great, professional voice. When we visit New York, we always try to go to Samovar. The food is also great. Try a flight of vodka. It is not very strong and goes done very smoothly.

Reserved a space in the back for a large group and was so grateful for the Russian Vodka Room inviting us in and taking care of us.
