"Recently, while in Ridgewood, I decided to stop for an impromptu solo dinner at Pierogi Boys, the new restaurant and specialty market that started as a stall in the DeKalb Market Hall . The restaurant side was warm and inviting, occupied by both families with kids and pairs of diners. I sat at the bar and ordered a plate of meat pierogies ($16). The dough was tender and light, and each dumpling was generously stuffed with a mixture of braised beef cheek and pork butt. A gravy of caramelized onions and a finishing touch of dill and chives balanced out the savory dish. It was a cozy, stick-to-your-ribs meal for a cold and blustery evening." - Nat Belkov
