"A long-running East Village institution serving Ukrainian comfort food around the clock since the 1950s, best known for house-made pierogi offered four or eight to an order and available boiled or fried. Classic fillings include meat, potato, cheese, and sauerkraut‑mushroom, while more modern options run to arugula with goat cheese, short rib, and bacon‑egg‑and‑cheese; pierogi are typically enjoyed with sour cream and caramelized onions in a cozy, no‑frills setting." - Natalie Beauregard
