New York | Mari Vanna 🌟

Natasha Rostova 💰 $19 A fruity cocktail with raspberry. It’s slightly sweet, with a mild alcohol taste and a gentle kick at the end. 🍸 Fried Eggplant Salad 💰 $18 A refreshing salad with fried eggplant pieces mixed in. It’s delicious and perfect as an appetizer to start the meal. 🍵 Borsch 💰 $18 A traditional Russian beet soup. It’s a bit salty but pairs well with rye bread. 🥣 🌟 Recommendation Rating: 10/10 The dishes were all recommended by a friend who knows Russian cuisine well, so everything was visually appealing and hit the mark. The restaurant has a luxurious, vintage Eastern European vibe, with crystal chandeliers, embroidered tablecloths, and walls full of old photos. Some of the graffiti is quite interesting, and even the bathroom has an old-fashioned pull-chain toilet! The atmosphere is fantastic, giving off a vibe straight out of "Anna Karenina." When celebrating a birthday, the waitstaff will sing the birthday song in Russian, adding a perfect touch of ceremony. 🎉 ⚠️ Reservations are highly recommended, and if you’re celebrating a birthday, no outside cakes are allowed. #NewYorkDelights #EasternEuropeanCuisine #NewYork #Birthday 🌇🌟
