Moscow 57
Picture
 Ellen Kaye, whose family owned The Russian Tea Room from 1947-1996, founded Moscow 57, a New York City-based hospitality and entertainment company.  Along with partner, Seth Goldman, the two of them also created Moscow 57 Entertaining, a catering company and record label, on the road to opening Moscow 57, a restaurant with live music. Moscow 57, the restaurant,  featured Russian Central Asian food and great music from a New Yorker's perspective.  Their restaurant closed in 2015.

The Moscow 57 menu encompassed a panoramic multi-national cuisine made up of classic Russian, Georgian, Belarussian, Ukrainian dishes and the flavors of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The foods of Central Asia and the Caucasus are the lesser-known, lighter and healthier fare of warmer climes and fit contemporary tastes and life styles.

Moscow 57 featured an eclectic mix of R&B, blues, rock, jazz, folk and world music. Moscow 57's first CD releases garnered national radio airplay. The M57 team co-produced a weekly streaming radio show with a live audience, M57 Straight From Delancey, with music and interviews from her former live music venue, Moscow 57. 
​With her partners, Seth Goldman and Ethan Fein, Ellen Kaye also created and hosted a podcast series, the M57 On Air Urban Salon and pop-ups with food and music from Harlem to New Orleans. Although the brick-and-mortar restaurant and the M57 corporate entity had to close, the business model which had been developed there has been reborn in Ellen Kaye’s current endeavors.

Ellen Kaye  has long been committed to giving back to our community.  A portion of the proceeds of many of her events is donated to some of her favorite not-for-profit organizations, ​The New York Womens' Foundation, Holiday House NYC and The Neversink Valley Museum of History and Innovation.

" Our restaurant had become a community cultural center, where artists and others of all ages and backgrounds mingle over a shot of vodka or a glass of wine in what seemed more like a convivial Mittel European cafe than a cookie-cut Lower East Side restaurant and bar.  " Ellen Kaye

“You have entered a space often overlooked by the hospitality industry--a restaurant/bar that acknowledges 'community' as an important ingredient in the conversation around food. The rush to gentrify and monetize every urban space so often overlooks the needs of the 'soul'--the hunger for art. Food is just a piece, well done, but still just a fraction of what Moscow 57 has to offer. Your model provokes and promotes a conversation around larger social issues and creates a welcoming venue for both artists and patrons.” Lyn Pentecost, co-founder and director of the Lower Eastside Girl’s Club, says of Moscow 57

As novelist and NYC resident Boris Fishman has written: 
“The Moscow 57 experience is unlike any other, not only on the Lower East Side — a neighborhood rich in dining and entertainment options — but in the city as a whole, and that goes especially for the several other Russian restaurants in the city. No other restaurant combines to such singular effect a menu both traditional and surprising, an intimate music venue, an atmosphere likened by their guests to ‘some incredible impresario’s living room.’ ”
