The Best Lunch In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"They say that the New York happy meal is fries and a martini, but we’d like to argue that an order of pierogi and borscht at Veselka is the truest form of New York comfort. The Ukrainian diner in the East Village has been serving hungry patrons exactly that, alongside solid burgers and weak coffee since they opened in 1952. If you come on the weekend, there’ll be a bit of a line, but during the week, it’s a super casual walk-in spot." - willa moore, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah
