"Mari Vanna looks like something out of a Dickens novel, and has a devoted following among those who have strong feelings toward chicken kiev. The cluttered room is filled with ornate chandeliers, lace doilies, and black-and-white portraits, and the traditional Russian food is better than you’d expect from a place with a swing attached to its ceiling. You’re going to consume a lot of sour cream here—with your blinis, pelmeni, and borscht—and, ideally, you’ll take a shot or two of horseradish vodka." - bryan kim, hannah albertine
