Russian Samovar Menu Prices at 256 W 52nd St, New York, NY 10019

Russian staples & infused vodkas are served at this longtime eatery that hosts live piano music.

The history of Russian Samovar starts well before the restaurant itself. Originally Jilly’s Canteen, and owned by friend of Frank Sinatra, Jilly Rizzo, Samovar was the go to hot spot for Sinatra and his good old boys. In homage to Sinatra, Johnny Carson, and the rest of the pack, we decided to maintain the original red banquettes from back in those days. We also preserved the original bar as featured in The Manchurian Candidate and even unearthed original artwork from the talented people who frequented Jilly’s before we were fortunate enough to acquire this landmark location.
In 1986, Roman Kaplan, founder of Russian Samovar acquired the property and was joined in 1987 by friends and business partners: Legendary dancer Mikhael
Baryshnikov
