Perogies are good! Stay away from the rice pudding. Good creamy texture but completely bland. I think someone forgot the sugar in the recipe.

Piroge were very good, good enough to remind me of my grandma's piroge. Pity it lacked fried bacon, but maybe it was just my grandma's special receipt.

Don't sit outside! Its so tempting on summer night but the waiters always seem to forget your existence

Go to Veselka and get a half a chicken salad sandwich, a cup of hot borscht, and a salad. Get a container of their salad dressing to take with you.
