The Russian Team Room is participating in this winter’s Restaurant Week (menu) and is for the first time ever offering FREE tours of the establishment — even the private rooms usually reserved for the very wealthy and/or powerful. The FREE tours will begin at 11:30 AM and 5:30 PM daily, from January 25th-February 7th and will last approximately 30 minutes each. The Russian Tea Room is located at 150 West 57th Street New York, NY 10019.

The floors on display will include the whimsical second-floor “Bear Lounge”, which features a spectacular tree of Fabergé-inspired Venetian glass eggs and a 15-foot revolving bear aquarium replete with large, glimmering goldfish; the third floor “Bear Ballroom” with a stunning 25-ft ceiling decorated with etched mirrors of frolicking bears and three imperial bronze chandeliers adorned by playful brass bears; and on the top floor, “The Hearth Room” which features walls of inlaid decorative wood paneling, a fireplace and an active diorama of the Kremlin in every season.
