    I do hate to “um, ackshually” this, but it’s not NYC as much as we both wish it was. Instead, it’s 1203 Restaurant, located at 1203 Pennslyvania Ave. in Washington D.C.

    • When Joseph Stalin died in 1953, this D.C. restaurant celebrated

      Here’s my personal favorite recipe.

      1. Wait for a dictator to die (may take 10-50 years)
      2. Go to a restaurant celebrating their death.
      3. Enjoy!

        1. Wait for a dictator to die (may take 10-50 years)

        The secret ingredient is that a little help is needed.

        Some historians have conjectured that Stalin was murdered; Beria has been accused of poisoning him, but no firm evidence has appeared. According to a theory developed by historians Vladimir Naumov and Jonathan Brent, based on mentions of stomach hemorrhaging excised from his autopsy, Stalin was poisoned with warfarin, most likely by Beria.

        I’m waiting for the celebrations to begin when Putin finally departs the moral plane. Wish there was a way to speed things up, though.

      If they don’t like Stalin they’re obviously Nazis. Just ask our friends from .ml
