Mari Vanna
From Russia with love! For the peasant serf meets Anna Karenina type - a la Mary Kate Olsen - Gramercy's Mari Vanna is a picture of St Petersburg perfection. Gorge your inner Romanov in their precious, Old World kitsch dining room at their Skaza Brunch buffet - whatever that means. Food forever tastes better when porcelain plated, chandeliers dripping above it. Squirrel away a bowl of borsh, and plates of potato draniki, stroganoff, and blinis just begging to be accessorized with sweets. And don't forget a scoop of caviar somewhere along the way. Stock up - after all, winter is coming, and furs can only keep you so warm.
