Russian Tea Room

This elegant Midtown landmark is one of the area's most special restaurants and one of the most visually stunning. The Tea Room's four levels are decorated to the hilt – stained-glass ceilings, elegant glasswork, and a selection of Russian antiques. Entrees include such Russian delicacies as house-smoked sturgeon with bacon-braised cabbage, pan-seared duck breast with a chocolate spice reduction, and pastry-wrapped salmon with root vegetables. Consider a vodka flight, or conclude a fabulous meal with cognac or a cordial. Pre-theater and brunch menus available. Reservations accepted. TRAIN: B, D; N, Q, R to 57th St
