    I work with someone recently in town from Russia. They were looking for Russian food, neighborhoods, gathering places, etc. Russian Tea Time was the first (and only) strictly Russian place that came to mind. I know part of Devon was at one point Russian. I've found listings for a few Georgian places (Argo and Tblisi), but nothing specifically Russian.

    Anyone have recommendations for other Russian restaurants, delis, bars, shops, neighborhoods, etc?

    How about Zhivago? They've got Russian food and entertainment. It's pretty popular with the Russian expat community (including my cousins from Moscow). I've never been myself because I can't drink Vodka, but they speak highly of it.

    I've been to Zhivago several times - especially weekend nights, there's copious food, lots of live Russian music, and plenty of people dancing around the tables - raucous fun, to say the least.
