The Best Restaurants in the East Village | Eater NY
"This enduring Jewish dairy luncheonette — open since 1938 — is now run by Polish Catholic Ola Smigielska and Egyptian Muslim Fawzy Abdelwahed, and remains a pescatarian and vegetarian wonder in the neighborhood. Dishes include tuna melts on challah, cheese pierogies, omelets, and berry-bulging blintzes. And let’s not forget its amazing vegetarian soups: Mushroom barley, cabbage, and matzoh ball are favorites. Served with buttered challah made on the premises, they’re bargain meal mainstays." - Robert Sietsema
