Last month, the Hartford Business Journal reported that two Brazilian restaurants would be opening in downtown — one by the owners of Churrascaria Braza and the other by the owner, Elaine Lima, of Brazil Grill & Pizza. Lima’s Rio Grill & Bar will fill the space at 54 Pratt Street. Signs of progress are being seen on this, literally. Banners are now on display inside the former Cugino’s spot.
The reopening of The Russian Lady draws near. On October 12th, from 6-8pm, Hartford residents — with proof of residence — will have the chance to preview the venue before it officially opens.
The (new) Russian Lady is located at 191 Ann Uccello Street.

When I earn my millions in the archives, I’m going to buy back the Russian Lady statue from the hotel in New York. Though, I’ll probably donate it to a certain local historical society instead of putting it up on a building.

I’d vote for putting the statue as a centerpiece in our clubhouse…because we’d have a clubhouse if any of us earned millions.
