BMI EliteApril 14, 2011They're open 24/7 - turn up after your night out and partake of the pierogis with applesauce.
Kirsten PowerFebruary 23, 2013The wait staff is excessively pushy - they tried to take my bowl of soup away 5 times before I was finished.
Try the hash Brown slop, from the biggest slop house in NYC..
Cheryl JohnsonAugust 14, 2011Cold borscht is the best reprieve from a yucky humid summer day on second ave

If you're stopping by for coffee and dessert, get the chocolate custard. It's amazing.
The 3 bean chilli is killer!!!! so is the lamb and feta burger
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.
The vegetable soup is the best soup they have. The dill in the soup is a pleasant surprise.
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.
When you order pierogis, get the big plate. 4 is not enough!
