Homemade Pierogi Inside the Ukrainian National Home
Eat comforting classics in a calm Second Avenue diner, with borscht on the menu and Veselka next door.
🥟 A Comfort Food Retreat
Ukrainian East Village Restaurant sits inside the Ukrainian National Home at 140 to 142 2nd Avenue, next to Veselka. Step away from the neighborhood bustle into a calm, unpretentious retreat. The simple diner setting keeps the focus on a casual meal, with a cozy atmosphere that suits gathering around a table with friends.
Start with homemade pierogi or borscht, then explore traditional haluski, galumpki, and krokety. These Ukrainian classics make this a stop for comforting cooking, with a menu that stretches beyond the most familiar staples. Take your time choosing, and let the meal set a slower pace than the street outside.
The restaurant opens Monday through Friday from 4 PM to 10 PM and Saturday and Sunday from noon to 10 PM. Weekend plans can start at lunchtime, while weekday meals begin in the afternoon. Settle in for a relaxed pause in the East Village.
