The Russian Tea Room is a restaurant at 150 West 57th Street in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It was established in 1927 by former members of the Russian Imperial Ballet, hence the name. The restaurant became a watering hole for Russian expatriates and people in the entertainment industry.

The original Russian Tea Room was located across the street, at 145 West 57th Street. It moved to its present location in 1929. The Russian Tea Room has faced several financial crises in the last few decades. It closed in 1996, reopened in 2000, then closed again in 2002. It reopened again on 1 November, 2006.

Although the flamboyant deco is the same as when it closed in 2002, the food is not, and that received negative attention from restaurant reviews.

How to reach the Russian Tea Room

Take the N, Q, R or W train to the 57th Street subway station. Walk east along West 57th Street until you see the Russian Tea Room on your right. Alternatively, take the F train to the 57th Street subway station and walk west along West 57th Street to see the Russian Tea Room on your left.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
