BMI EliteApril 14, 2011They're open 24/7 - turn up after your night out and partake of the pierogis with applesauce.
Try the hash Brown slop, from the biggest slop house in NYC..
Kirsten PowerFebruary 23, 2013The wait staff is excessively pushy - they tried to take my bowl of soup away 5 times before I was finished.
Cheryl JohnsonAugust 14, 2011Cold borscht is the best reprieve from a yucky humid summer day on second ave
@JaumePrimeroAugust 30, 2011definitely the place to hit up the morning after...perogi sampler please?
Isa SierraJune 25, 2018Still great - but it’s become so popular that the service was sloppy and slow. Food wasn’t fresh either

Daniel HildrethJune 8, 2012Sometimes I brig some airline alcohol here and spike the cherry line rickey.
Gregg DJanuary 3, 2010Such good food. An absolute MUST if you're in the East Village!!! The stuffed cabbage is amazing!

If you get the pierogis, get them fried. Fried is always better.
Cheese blintzes with strawberry rhubarb compote. You're welcome.

"With real estate prices so high, most coffee shops don't even have space to sit. Here's a great, old school bookstore with a tiny cafe and ample seating. Great to meet up or do a little work."

"Awesome cafe variety. Weekday lunch and dinner aren't too crowded but get there early or prepare to wait for brunches on the weekends."
