- Jack GashiAugust 6, 2014It's open 24 hours, but I'm not sure that's a good thing. There needs to be a special name for a hangover with kielbasa taste in your mouth.
- Gansevoort Hotel GroupJanuary 31, 2011Another NYC must try. Get the pierogies ( half fried and half boiled) and the raspberry cheese blintzes. You'll be in late night heaven.
- LizaAugust 23, 2014Great Eastern European food. Combo meals are good. Try the sweet potato pierogies
- I know Borscht is king at Veselka, but I personally am a big fan of their chili. It's pretty mild, but very flavorful. Also great Pierogies and Mac and Cheese. Definitely my go-to spot after 2am.
- Damien Basile 😈January 28, 2013Make sure to check for the seasonal pierogies. The ones I had were short rib and they were delicious!!!
- Open 24 hours. Try the borscht for an experience and the cheese-filled pierogies.
- Adrienne BorgersenOctober 27, 2011This place is legendary. If you're in the neighborhood, you have to try it for classic comfort food, Ukrainian style!
- Ryan VillanuevaMarch 7, 2010The corned beef hash will change your life. It's not the steaming pile of crap that you get at any deli. Veselka serves actual corned beef mixed with onions and peppers. It's eye opening, and tasty.
- Kelli GallowaySeptember 12, 2014Soup and sandwich! It's my favorite quick easy lunch. Incredible soups.

- Vinaya VishwanathJune 9, 2015The pierogi is soooo gooood. Also good is the salmon latka eggs benedict.
- Nate BeattyJuly 19, 2015Awful burgers, but good borscht and perogies. Stick to the Ukrainian menu and expect basic Ukrainian dishes (lots of white bread, cabbage, sausage, potatoes, and pancakes).
- Elie BleierJune 3, 2014Perfect for an after-Russian & Turkish Bath meal. Hearty food. Friendly wait staff.

- Besides the delicious Ukranian dishes, their breakfast of waffles w/ raspberry sauce and their eggs are good too. Get them with a side of kielbasa.

- Tim de GierSeptember 23, 2012Good food, basic diner. But run by Ukrains and said to be the favorite place of Beat poet Allen Ginsberg.
- Michael GarodNovember 17, 2015The stuffed cabbage took the spot light on my deluxe meat plate for sure!!
