The Russian Tea room is sort of the Disney version but it Is still there and the champagne tea is still great.

Amy ghost glad to see you and so so agree about Time Square, I saw it in the 50’s, the 60’s The 70’s and in the 21st century. It’s was fun in the 50’s with the billboard blowing smoke rings. But the 60’s and 70’s were filthy smelly scary scummy. I wish it wasn’t quite so plastic, I wish The Hard Rock Cafe wasn’t in the Paramount where Frank Sinatara debuted with Benny Goodman . But as an aging tourist who comes to New York to see as many plays, concerts and ballets as I can get in , today’s time square makes performance venues much more accessible.

Marsha, lol, I see my cyber dyslexia is still active, and I replied to Jervis's post rather than yours (don't be hurt Jervis, I still think those are some great photos), but what I said still goes. Have not been to The Russian Tea Room since the mid-eighties. Curious, but didn't have the heart after the re-do. I ought to check it out though, if the champagne tea is still on the menu! As long as none of the characters from the Disney Anastasia are roaming the room, that is.
