"The Williamsburg location of Veselka is more of a normal dinner time scene and less of a late-night haunt than the original Ukrainian diner in the East Village. But that doesn’t matter, because the food at their second location is identical to the first and you don’t have to go to Manhattan to get it. Come for comforting Ukrainian classics, like a hunter's stew with cabbage and kielbasa, stuffed cabbage, chicken paprikash, and of course, as many potato, goat cheese and arugula, and mushroom sauerkraut pierogi as you can muster. You should be prepared to eat a lot of potatoes here, and to finish off your meal with an order of blintzes." - willa moore, neha talreja, bryan kim, kenny yang, will hartman
