Since 1954, Veselka has been serving up Ukrainian food from the same location in the heart of the East Village. Ever since then, Veselka has grown from a small newsstand into a 24-hour gathering place, serving up Ukrainian soul food with traditional dishes like Pierogi/Varenyky, Stuffed Cabbage, Potato Pancakes, Blintzes, and Goulash to the delight of locals and visitors alike. 

The restaurant, now owned and operated by Volodymyr’s grandson, Jason Birchard, was owned and operated by Tom Birchard for many years, the son-in-law of the original founders. Throughout the restaurant’s 70-year history, it has been expanded several times, and been featured in many prominent films (such as Ocean’s 8, Trainspotting, and Juno) along with numerous features in local and national publications. Veselka is, put simply, an institution of New York City.

Veselka means rainbow in Ukrainian!

Veselka was established in 1954 by Ukrainian immigrants and continues to serve Ukrainian soul food today. The DNA of our restaurant is the story of Ukrainian strength and perseverance, so for now and always Veselka will always support Ukraine and Ukraine's right to be a free nation.
