Restaurants East Village
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.

A useful East Village choice for Ukrainian comfort food, with long weekend hours and a mostly walk-in approach.
Our take
Give a neighbourhood meal enough time to become the plan. Start with the restaurant’s Ukrainian staples and build the order around your appetite. This selection is based on its published menu and service information, rather than a first-hand tasting review.
This record is for the East Village restaurant. The official schedule runs continuously from Friday morning through Sunday evening; weekday service starts later in the morning. Most tables are first come, first served, with limited reservations available through the restaurant. Check holiday hours before a late visit. The dining-room photograph dates from March 2025.
