replying to u/sspecialists: I wouldn't go there at all. In Manhattan, if you just want the vibes, Mari Vanna is better and more fun, day of visit dependent. In Manhattan, if you want to try Russian dishes, I would go to the Russian Vodka Room or Russian Samovar.
“^^ Mari Vanna or the Russian Samovar (where the Russian took Sex and the City’s Carrie for their date) are the answers. Good food, and have classic Russian infused vodka shots”

replying to u/mtempissmith: Try Russian Samovar instead. Food is decent and the place is fun besides. RTR has gone way downhill since I used to eat there back in the day. It's a tourist trap with mediocre food now, pricey too. RS is way better...
