Our Top 20 Picks For New York Restaurant Week

The Russian Tea Room

We're not entirely sure what "Continental" food is supposed to mean, but judging by the rave reviews and consistently delicious food at the "Continental" Russian Tea Room, we're going to assume it's a synonym for "very, very tasty." The great food, sophisticated ambiance, and storied past of this New York institution makes us wonder why you would wait until restaurant week to visit, but you may as well take advantage and stop by for a weekday lunch or dinner.
