Fodor's Expert Review National Restaurant and Night Club

Wear your dancing shoes and dress to impress and you'll fit right in at this lavishly gilded, Brighton Beach institution. The menu has an outstanding selection of Russian specialties, like smoked fish, caviar, kebabs, and dumplings. Vodka is best ordered by the bottle, especially if you're staying for the Vegas-via-the-Ukraine-style floor show. It's a glitzy spectacle of live music, show girls, and costume changes—this may well be one of the best experiences of your trip. Remember to dress up and be ready to join the convivial spirit!
