"A fixture for roughly 50 years, Streecha, a subterranean cafeteria at 33 E. Seventh Street, near Second Avenue, is another neighborhood staple that’s seeing a revival, not just in terms of diners who visit, but volunteers who come to pitch in with food preparation. More akin to eating at someone’s home than a formal restaurant, Streecha — run by volunteers and considered a hub for Ukrainian immigrants — serves a small menu of Ukrainian favorites. An extension of the nearby St. George’s Ukrainian Catholic Church, the money Streecha makes from food orders serves as a fundraiser for it." - Dena Levitz
