The place for all-day breakfast or late-night borscht.
Veselka's 24-hour kitchen is an attraction for East Village
late night dinners looking for a hearty food and very
accommodating Eastern European waitstaff.
Polish and Ukrainian dishes such as pierogis and kielbasa
dominate the menu share counter space with standard diner
breakfast and dinner fare, including challah French toast
and a hearty cheddar-topped chili. Raspberry blintzes--filled
with sweet cheese and topped with homemade raspberry sauce
and hot borscht with beef makes a pleasing winter dish.
Chilled summer soups and year-round homemade pies are
a treat.
