Il était une fois, à Moscou et à Saint-Pétersbourg, une femme mythique nommée Mari Vanna qui accueilli ses convives à bras ouverts dans sa maison et leur fit goûter une cuisine russe traditionnelle à sa table ornée de sa plus belle porcelaine ainsi que de son linge de maison le plus fin. Tout le monde était bienvenu. Certains eurent même l'honneur de recevoir une clé pour pouvoir revenir lorsque bon leur semblait. Aujourd'hui, le restaurant Mari Vanna vous accueille à New York, dans un pâté de maisons populaire entre les quartiers de Flatiron et de Gramercy. Il y attend les New-Yorkais, les voisins ainsi que les touristes qui cherchent un endroit pour se restaurer, boire et passer un bon moment, tout en découvrant la véritable hospitalité russe.
Le menu comprend des classiques russes intemporels tels que la délicieuse soupe Borsch composée de pampushkas, de betterave, de bouillon, de viande de bœuf, de carottes ainsi que de pommes de terre, servie avec une crème aigre dans une belle soupière assez grande pour vous resservir à loisir. Le Mari Vanna est ouvert pour le dîner, le brunch et le souper, 7 jours par semaine.

There is only one way to describe it: Classic Russia in the heart of New York. The history of Russian Samovar starts well before the restaurant itself. Originally Jilly's Canteen, and owned by a friend of Frank Sinatra, Jilly Rizzo, Samovar was the go-to hot spot for Sinatra and The Rat Pack. In 1986, Roman Kaplan, founder of Russian Samovar acquired the property and was joined in 1987 by friends and business partners: Legendary dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov and Nobel Award Winning poet Joseph Brodsky. Baryshnikov's baby grand piano is still used daily by our performers and guests can still request the Brodsky table, where the legends used to sit and drink away the hours. Guests of private events also enjoy our private dining room, where Baryshnikov filmed Sex in the City.Samovar has remained a celebrity hangout over the years. We've been lucky enough to feature impromptu shows by Liza Minelli and rumor has it that Mel Brooks adapted The Producers to film while sitting at our bar.
