The Russia House: Everything I expect and desire: dark wood, red carpet, a place delightfully past its prime (but with the sort of craftsmanship that things only get better as they get older and more worn in). And interesting drinks--I finally got to try the Armenian brandy, Ararat, that I've been looking forward to, and it was wonderful. (But why, really, does the bouncer have to have an earpiece?!)
Smith Point: Nothing like what I expected--bouncers and ropes and a line outside and a $5 cover charge to buy over-priced, watered-down frat house drinks with a bunch of 23-year-olds (okay, not watered down, but definitely served in plastic cups). Talk about a place that makes you feel like there are wrinkles all over your face. And no Bush sisters!
