"While nowhere near the Richmond District, it felt criminal to leave Pushkin off the guide. Offering an updated and unique take on Russian food, the family-run restaurant is located in an alley in the Financial District and brings in influences from other former Soviet countries like Ukraine and Georgia. From rainbow-colored pelmeni to chicken vareniki, the classic dishes here are amplified with less traditional flavors and spices to make everything on the menu really pop. Stop by for outdoor dining or order delivery through their website." - aida agayeva
