Fun Read I had always wanted to visit the Russian Tea Room but never got there. It’s fun to have this book take me on a ‘visit.’
Great companion book Itâs part the The trilogy
Hoping to learn a little more about my grandfather While doing a google search I came across my grandfather’s name listed in this book.I always knew John Ost (my grandfather) was a waiter at this exquisite restaurant for well over twenty years until his passing in 1961. Hoping to see some fine photo’s in this book and get to read about his work place that my father told me he loved dearly. John Ost, Astoria NY
