Go to Anyway Cafe at 2nd and 2nd. Modern Russian. Only about seven tables. Anything from jeans to a tux is ok here. Very funky, very Manhattan. You will not find anything like this where you are. Things start picking up there about 9pm. Smoked trout, marinated beets with walnuts, osetra filet, peasant style beef.
