Veselka
The East Village's all-night institution. Veselka has been turning out Ukrainian comfort food around the clock for decades — pierogis (potato, cheese, meat, sauerkraut), borscht, homemade chicken soup, and surprisingly one of the best burgers in the city — all with strong coffee. When the night's over and you need real food at 4am, this is the warm, reliable answer.
The legendary 24-hour Ukrainian diner — pierogis, borscht, and strong coffee at any hour.
