....my parents took us for lunch at the Russian Tea Room which is right next door. Nice place back then (50 years ago)

Now that I live near Hartford CT, we have a restaurant in downtown called the Russian Lady, wonder if they'll name a drink after Ms. Veselnitskaya?

Great bar, though it's been years since I have been there.
