A bowl of borscht and a tasting dinner are different evenings. Start with the food you feel like eating, then choose the block.
Pierogi on Second Avenue
Veselka East Village follows the original East Village branch. Check its current menu and service rather than borrowing hours from another Veselka location.
Pastrami on Houston Street
Katz’s Delicatessen has its own counter routine. Keep the ticket you receive and use the restaurant’s current visitor information before bringing a group.
Vegetables or vegan Szechuan
Dirt Candy offers a tasting dinner with a vegan version available by request. Spicy Moon Bowery is a vegan Szechuan restaurant. The two menus answer different appetites.
