About this matchbox

The Russian Tea Room was founded in 1926 by members of the Russian Imperial Ballet, becoming a meeting point for Russian émigrés, musicians, and people from the entertainment world. Its proximity to Carnegie Hall made it a hub for artists, directors, and composers. To this day, its Art Deco interiors continue to host numerous celebrities and those who wish to travel back to the 1920s.

If I drop by New York, I am one hundred percent sure that I want to visit this place, which has also appeared in numerous movies and series (especially American ones) such as When Harry Met Sally, Big, Gossip Girl... I will keep digging and tell you more when I can, as I have too many matches to investigate!
