About this business
While the East Village has long been a hip neighborhood, it was first known as an ethnic community. The Ukrainian restaurant Veselka is a remnant of that history. This combination luncheonette and sidewalk cafe with an Eastern European air features breakfast muffins, bagels, potato pancakes and cheese blintzes among other selections. For lunch, a hearty borscht and their famouspierogies should do the trick, while a dinnermeal ofkielbasa or veal goulash should leave you smiling and satisfied.

Good late-night relief – When you need that something comforting at midnight, this is the place - yeah the service is a little slow, but sometimes I LIKE that!
eh – Good: old school Ukranian borscht, chicken soup, pork and beef meatloaf, potatoes, plain dip in your soup sweet bread, poppy cake, kutya, fresh lemonade. Not so much: overdone potato pancakes fried in old grease. Service was very good, but we sat at the counter. Not much of an atmosphere, but what do you expect?
Favorite Late-Night Place – How good are their potato pancakes with sour cream, and applesauce? At 4am on Friday night, I walked from 10th Ave to 2nd Ave in stilettos to get them. 'Nuff said.
What happened? – Went here today and the service was hideous! Usually spot on with food, service and prices, but our waitress was terrible! She was rude and nasty and disappeared for the longest time.........we waited for over a half hour while she chatted and gossiped with her little buddies in order to get our check! Needless to say, no tip!
MMM, Brunch – My boyfriend and I ate brunch here on Easter and although we did have to wait 45 mins., the service was prompt and friendly. The porogies were amazing, especially the spinich and cheese. The kielbasa, the potato pancakes, the coffee, all hit the spot. And our whole easter brunch only cost us about $40. We will definitely be back to Veselka soon!
Good food, good time – Veselka is a quality diner and serves up fairly authentic Ukranian grub. My hunter's stew--chicken, sausage, and saukraute were good, as was the mushroom and barley soup; my friends' pierogies were also quality. This place is comfortable and has a homey feeling. And as a bonus, open 24/7.
excellent deserts, great atmosphere - great place to stay for a while and people watch
great place – Really good pasteries and the service was fast and couteous. Only problem is that the wait was long but definitely worth it! Even though they were crowded we were not rushed.
yummy – always a classic place to go with out of town guests or friends. busy but in a fun way. i love this place-one of my absolute favorites!
