Hey y’all. I was wondering if any New Yorkers had any opinions of the restaurants/temples of wretched excess that can be found in Little Odessa. Many years ago I went to one with a big group (I think it was Metropol) and had a blast. However, I think that place is a bit off the beaten track for non-Russians, we knew a guy in the band who did our talking for us.

Looking up online I find the most common places mentioned are National, Primorski and Rasputin. Any opinions of comparative quality of food/service/kitsch factor? Any other suggestions?

Also, is it true you can haggle the per-person price for larger groups (around 10)?.

FTR, I do speak some Russian but I’m verry very rusty.
