Despite its name, the Russian Tea room isn't Russian at all. But that hasn't stopped protesters looking to boycott all things Russian, even if it's only a name and a cuisine.
New York The Russian Tea Room is a 100-year-old New York City icon that has long drawn in locals and tourists alike. In its heyday, the restaurant hosted such luminaries as choreographer George Balanchine, artist Salvador Dali and composer Leonard Bernstein, and it was featured in the movies"Tootsie" and"Manhattan."
It drew crowds who attended concerts at nearby Carnegie Hall, only steps away, or dined there after a Broadway show. But at lunchtime Thursday, the eatery was almost vacant, with a handful of customers sitting at only two of its 30 or so red leather banquettes. Despite its name, the Russian Tea room isn't Russian at all. It's actually owned by a financial group incorporated in New York state.
