Borsct is delish. Pierogis are a must. Dope breakfast. Great for late nights. This place has it all.
Eyal GantzJanuary 21, 2018
Even though it is SO BUSY. It is def worth the wait as the food is just perfect.
Jenna SJuly 5, 2017
their pierogis are dope. this was a regular haunt when i lived in the east village. Fried are better than boiled.

24 hour Ukrainian inspired breakfast in East Village. The original restaurant started back in 1954. Definetly get at least one side of pierogis!
NoviDecember 31, 2019
Pierogies!!!! Fried! Try them all! A cup of boscht is never a bad choice too. Gets crowded around 4am as nearby bars close

Cabbage soup... Not something I'd ever think to order but serious mouthgasm... Also amazing: pumpkin, cheese, potato and meat pierogies, raspberry cheese blintzes, stuffed cabbage.
Vineet ShahNovember 20, 2013
Get a large plate of the fried goat cheese and arugula pierogis. My new favorite late-night snack in the East Village.

One of the best Ukrainian food I've eaten, and I'm from Ukraine so it means a lot for me.

Comedy Central funnyman and New Yorker, Jon Stewart is a big fan of the deliciously fried pierogi. Stop in anytime at this 24-hour Ukrainian spot to grab some pierogi and read more on MetroFocus. Read more

This place is everything. Don't miss the pierogies!! (Boiled is best! With onions & sour cream.👌🏻)

Most people will tell you to go for the Ukrainian stuff, which is a pretty great idea, but the corn beef hash was the best I've ever had.
jaymi lynneMarch 28, 2015
everyone comes for the pierogis but their corned beef hash is amazing and should be on your list.
Jonah EatonApril 17, 2015
Pierogies are amazing, great place to go after drinking in the village for a snack. Good for dinner too
Mark MunroNovember 13, 2017
Pierogi ruski (potato and cheese) are probably the best in Manhattan. I’d pass on the beet/horseradish salad.
Thomas PajorJune 16, 2015
I had the Bœf Stroganoff, which was excellent. Add some Sauerkraut. :-)
Jess MApril 17, 2013
New York is a melting pot. And as far as melting pots go, this is the best one around. Totally authentic. Totally delicious.
Escott HayashidiazDecember 9, 2016
Great 24 hour Ukrainian diner. Good breakfasts, strong coffee, filling pancakes, and tasty perogies.
Adam MayMarch 5, 2016
Just get a ton of pirogies, but also the matzah ball soup is pretty stellar. In fact most of the soups are great.
Lauren GrimmFebruary 16, 2016
If you ask nicely, you can have a meatless stuffed cabbage on the meat plate - yum!
Rahul GuhathakurtaFebruary 10, 2015
Try their 'Varenyky' - also known as pierogis or dumplings with a variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian fillings.
Paula S.October 29, 2014
I've had Mediterranean omelette with spinach and mash potato in the side.. Delicious!
Andrey KlenJuly 2, 2016
Give borscht a try. Everything feels authentic Ukrainian wise.

smoked turkey blt on rye is a solid choice if you're not feeling adventurous
Campbell BirdNovember 17, 2015
Pierogies seem like the basic choice, but are totally worth it. Staff here is awesome. Good late night spot.
Hana SlevinAugust 31, 2015
Pierogies - I loved the goat cheese & arugula, and the sweet potato. And good God that peanut butter pie...
Daniela GMay 14, 2012
Great midnight food ! Killer grilled cheese and one of few places in the city that pulls off a bison burger. If you're with a group, expect to wait.

Pierogi are not just big fries! This place is delicious. Seriously. "My heart beets for borscht."

A smoked turkey sandwich is an unlikely winner at Veselka, a riot of flavors like chipoltle, cranberry, the fennel in Amy's bread, and thinly sliced, smokey turkey.
Matt BDecember 25, 2014
Pricey, but it's open at all hours and the pirogies and matzoh ball soup won't break the bank. Makes the perfect post-bar 4 am meal.
Leanne ZMay 17, 2017
Late night pirogies in assorted flavors with sour cream that you can take out what more could you want.
CharlottesFebruary 9, 2016
Pierogies duh! Get the mixed plate and sample all the specials. Borsch pretty darn delish too
SierraOctober 17, 2012

The arugula + goat cheese perogies, coupled with a few potato latkes topped with sour cream and applesauce, is THE perfect late night drunk food.
Natalie VApril 10, 2016
Open 24 hrs and the pierogis are so good. Also love the borscht and bigos for dinner.

Not only is the borscht incredible, but it is medicinal. Haven't found a hangover it can't cure. Have some pierogi too.
Leo MedinaJanuary 15, 2016
Some of the best borsch soup you can get. The food here is really good and friendly staff
Justin PulitzerJuly 10, 2013
Borscht Soup, Beef Stroganoff & Cheese Blintz w/ Raspberry Sauce are my favorites.
Jarel HillJuly 9, 2017
The beef and truffle pierogis are amazing and it's open too very late. Great spot!
Mallory NapolitanoSeptember 19, 2016
Great veggie plate, but all food was super tasty and of course huge portions
Jara NachbarDecember 28, 2012
the blintzes are something really special, as well as the corned beef hash! and it's a great place for a great late night meal :)
Leia PFebruary 19, 2016
The pierogi are some of the best in the city. Bigos, borscht and blintzes are amazing too.
leo kyivJune 30, 2015
try authentic ukrainian dumplings (pierogi) here. Delicius meal.
Pamela ZhuklevichMay 13, 2012
The borscht soup is delicious & I've had my share. Pierogies are just as good. Mostly I eat beef stroganoff, their brunch is fantastic.
Igor LevitMarch 16, 2015
Pierogis are great, and the borscht is the best I've had in NYC (aside from mom's!).
DoubleDeuceMay 22, 2016
Heavy Ukrainian foods. A few of the items are overly packaged but it's bustling and significantly different than the other nearby options. Uncommonly spacious bathrooms.

At brunch, the salmon & latke Benedict is unfair good. Order kielbasa with your pancakes, because it's a Ukrainian joint and therefore the law.
Marc MayerApril 12, 2018
Why haven’t you ordered the blintzes yet? Put your phone down and order the blintzes.

I couldn't love this place more. Get the pierogi, stroganoff and burger. MMMMMPH 😛
Lenny GalloSeptember 16, 2015
A great diner with Ukrainian favorites. The beef stroganoff and meat plate are worth trying.
SiobhánSeptember 14, 2017
Eastern European beer is definitely not something I'm familiar with but my Eastern European other half was impressed with what they had — good and authentic.
Ellis HamburgerMarch 16, 2013

How is the borscht so good. Borscht. And sour cream. And euphoria. Borscht euphoria.
