Real Housewives were on the prowl last week in NYC.

Russian Samovar Restaurant & Piano Bar celebrated supermodel and icon Carol Alt on the cover of Art Bodega Magazine’s Style and Beauty Issue.

In the company of the stars of BRAVO TV’s Real Housewives, city socialites and the theater district’s finest patrons, Art Bodega Magazine’s first cover release party was a glamorous evening showcasing the high-fashion model and the beautiful cover photographs by Ezequiel de la Rosa.

Russian Samovar Restaurant served the finest Russian cuisine in the intimate upstairs lounge set against the backdrop of picturesque green and red shaded lamps adorned with Russian folk print.

Teresa Giudice and Dorinda Medley celebrated along with Carol Alt, as well as Vlada Von Shats, John Mahdessian, Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan, Lessa Rowland, Michael Von Shats, Nicholas Von Shats, Antonia Bennett, Jane Pontarelli, Dr. Michelle Zweifler, Leesa Rowland and Rebecca Herrero.

Guests enjoyed the Russian-themed event, and the musical stylings of DJ Farib, as they mingled with the VIP host and co-host, luxury and couture connoisseur John Mahdessian also featured in the issue.

While the cover party was taking place in the private lounge of Russian Samovar Restaurant, the main dining room featured a special guest performance by Antonia Bennett, daughter of iconic musician Tony Bennett.

The restaurant is popular for its history, hosting Frank Sinatra and The Rat Pack under the name Jilly’s Canteen. Establishing its own legacy, Russian Samovar was originally founded in 1986 by Roman Kaplan with his business partners, legendary dancer Mikhael Baryshnikov and Nobel Prize winner Joseph Brodsky, and often featured unexpected performances from Cyndi Lauper and Liza Minelli. The Theatre District hot spot has remained relevant thanks to current owner Vlada Von Shats and her two sons Michael and Nicholas, preserving the name and culture of the dining destination. Today, you can still find the original red banquettes Sinatra and The Rat Pack frequently dined.

In the celebrated cover story, Carol Alt shares with readers her evolution in the modeling industry, it’s challenges today, and how she balances her personal life. The intimate discussion delves into her supermodel legacy and being one of the most beautiful women in the world.

Event sponsors include: Russian Samovar’s Vlada Von Shats, Stila, Jane, Madame Paulette, and Tiffany & Co.
