Russian Samovar
For a Thanksgiving celebration steeped in Russian culture, New York City history and the performing arts, Russian Samovar, located in the Theatre District, will be serving its traditional Russian fare with featured turkey, duck and goose specialty dishes. The elegant restaurant, owned by Roman Kaplan and managed by his daughter Vlada Von Shats and her two sons Michael and Nicholas, is famous for its Russian delicacies but boasts an enviable legacy unlike any other dining establishment.
The legendary location, formerly known as Jilly’s Saloon used to be frequented by Frank Sinatra and The Rat Pack, under former owners Ballet Legend Mikhail Baryshnikov and, his partner, Nobel Prize in Literature winner Joseph Brodsky. Cyndi Lauper and Liza Minnelli were also known to drop-in to perform for a jubilant dinner theatre crowd.
Throughout the holiday season, family and friends can enjoy Russian Samovar’s time-honored history and the exceptional ambiance which embodies a 19th-century feel, complete with picturesque green and red shades and Russian folk prints.
