Veselka • 1954

Veselka is a Ukrainian restaurant in New York's East Village, established in 1954 by post-WWII Ukrainian refugees Wolodymyr and Olha Darmochwal. Known for its handmade pierogi, borscht, and potato pancakes, it is one of the last remaining Slavic restaurants in a neighborhood that once had many, and has become an institution serving Ukrainian soul food to generations of New Yorkers.
