Veselka: East Village
Ukrainian cooking at Second Avenue and East Ninth Street. A place to sit down over pierogi and turn a walk into a meal.
Food & drink New York
A Gramercy saloon pairs a neighbourhood drink with a recognisably old New York setting.
Pete’s Tavern brings a historic Gramercy bar and American comfort food together just east of Union Square. The restaurant dates its history to 1864, while today’s menus cover a full meal as well as drinks at the tavern.
Choose it for a pause between the square and the streets around Irving Place. A drink, a burger and a longer group dinner are all different ways to use the same neighbourhood address.
