"On February 24, the day Russia began its brazen military assault against Ukraine, Anya El-Wattar looked out into the empty dining room of her two-week-old Russian restaurant, Birch & Rye, in San Francisco’s Castro district. Before it even opened, the restaurant had been booked a full month out, with a waiting list." - ByAdam Reiner
