Russian Tea Room, New York City

All Pictures



During my recent trip to New York City, I accidentally found this little art-deco treasure at 150 W 57th street. The facade dates back to 1927 but was altered in 2002. The interior is absolutely gorgeous, with Tiffany stained glasses and the like. Unfortunately, I had neither time nor money to go in, so this will be a topic of a future post.



Three dancing bears (Well, it is a Russian Tea Room...)



Who came up with the idea of putting this ugly flag pole through the exquisite balcony grille?



The building is squeezed between two high-rises...
