Russian$$brighton-beach

Tatiana Cafe on the Brighton Beach boardwalk has run Russian-Ukrainian family meals in New York City since 1990. Borscht, pelmeni, blini, ocean-front tables.

Signature: Pelmeni, Beef stroganoff

Order: Pelmeni in butter, with sour cream on the side.

Tip: Live music on weekend evenings runs late. Order from the Russian menu if Cyrillic is doable; the kitchen makes more there.
