My grandma used to take me here when I was little...she used to tell me that they were the only people in the world that make pierogis like hers. And it's true. Maybe I'm biased, but this is a great dive-y type place to go on the LES with a couple of friends before a big night of drinking. Try the beet salad, yum! The pierogis, of course, the borscht with sour cream, and if you're really daring, give the kasha varnishkes a shot. One bad thing - the Ukrainian beer - tastes like Shlitz. The servers ARE weird, but nice. I freakin' love Veselka. (That means 'rainbow,' by the way...like the pot of gold at the end of it!)
Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Hours
