Description

Pravda's entrance is a formidable, but easily missable, black gate in Soho; it guards a staircase that leads to the neighborhood's prized caviar bar. The theme here is something like a cozy, Cold War-era Russian bomb shelter stacked with nothing but delicious, flavor-infused vodka. Try the Leninade (citrus vodka, lemon juice, and fresh mint), or sip the Vladimir Martini (fig vodka and Russian tea syrup). Both are like biting into fruits grown from a tree nursed with vodka instead of water.
