"Streecha, located at 33 East Seventh Street, near Second Avenue, is a traditional Ukrainian eatery that recently reopened after a temporary closure. The venue is connected to St. George Ukrainian Catholic Church and features a volunteer staff from the parish. The menu, originally limited to a few dishes like beet borscht, stuffed cabbage, potato and cheese varenyky, and kielbasa with sauerkraut, has expanded to include new items such as a 'special plate' with options like pork ribs and goulash, as well as new soups and the unique dish banosh. Despite the price increase, the menu remains a good deal. Streecha is open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in a basement space under a chiropractor's office." - Robert Sietsema
