The experience: Pierogi brunch
While late nights in the East Village might have revelers partying and drinking all across the neighborhood, weekend mornings are meant for converging at the culinary institution, Veselka. Open since 1954 and located on a stretch also known as Little Ukraine, the Ukrainian coffee shop and eatery is popular for dishes like Borscht and Goulash, and is also a prime destination for nursing a hangover through a brunch featuring their Pierogies. The signature menu item of Ukrainian Dumplings are made with bacon, scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and potato while served with the Creamy Chipotle Ketchup and a side of great people watching.
