My birthday was last month but I'm quite happy to celebrate it indefinitely.
Most recent stop - on a bitterly cold (almost Russian?) Tuesday - was legendary Russian TeaRoom which was founded in 1927 by members of the Russian Ballet.
The decor is warm: red and gold and green - almost over the top with red Christmas tree balls and bright samovars.
Champagne and caviar with tea? Of course!
Not sure what you are meant to do with the cherries... smoked salmon sandwiches (the caviar eaten already). The waiters wear retro costumes
A birthday? Well, of course
and cakes and more champagne.
On the walls all sorts of Russian art
and for sale rather elaborate nesting dolls.
