Press-release
On May 24, 2011 the famous restaurant Russian Samovar will celebrate its 25 anniversary! This special day is also the birthday of the Nobel winning Russian poet Joseph Brodsky, who was the owner of the restaurant since 1986. The event will take place at 256 West 52nd Street, New York at 7 pm.
Russian Samovar is a little Russian island one block away from Broadway, where culture and tradition stay untouched. Joseph Brodsky opened the restaurant in partnership with a great entrepreneur Roman Kaplan and famous Russian ballet dancer Michael Baryshnikov. The restaurant then already had an interesting history: Frank Sinatra owned the place in the past. He had many personal concerts there and often spent time with his friends at this restaurant.
Keeping its charming tradition to be a favorite place for bohemian Russians, Samovar became a home for famous Russian poets and writers. For the last 15 years Russian Samovar has been a place for poetry reading. The restaurant became a traditional place for special occasions for three generations of Russian immigrants. In a cozy atmosphere they can eat their favorite Russian food, meet musicians, actors, writers and different guests, coming from Russia.
On May 24th Russian and American poets and writers will get together to celebrate these great events. Michael Baryshnikov and Roman Kaplan will host the party. David Rief, Bob Silvers, Phillip Roth will be among special guests. The celebrated Yale Russian Chorus alumni have also accepted the invitation and will be performing at the restaurant. Great stories, poetry, music, humor and laughter will lead this special evening.
