PB what was the name of the restaurant on Second Ave or Chrystie st, beteween Houston and Canal. You had to walk down a few steps to get in. Small always packed. I think it is closed now. I'm talking about in the 70's -90's

Well, I was. I don't know what you brought up my location for. That's on you.

@StLguy...no, we're not. Well, maybe I am as my father is from Sicily, I am not. But my husband isn't from this country, so he's definitely not wonderbread, or however you call it.

Veselka is the only Eastern European joint left that I frequent down there. They're Ukrainian. They've been on 2nd Avenue and 9th Street for like sixty years. Our Village property is on West 8th, just off MacDougal. But I walk crosstown just to eat breakfast there all the time

It's run down, and it's more of a diner than a restaurant. But the food is great, and it's just about the last remaining link to the old Lower East Side. And everyone here knows how I feel about the new Manhattan lol.

I'm half Ukrainian and that side of my family originally lived in the Lower East Side when they came over during WWII.

The most popular and well known in my opinion are perogies or varenyky. Which are pictured in the link below.

http://www.activeukraine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/varenyky-2.jpg


Also well known are cabbage rolls or holopchi. Pictured below.

http://www.claudiascookbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Cabbage-Rolls.jpg


Borscht. Pictured below.

I'm the other way around. My father is Ukrainian and my mother is Italian. I agree with you on the temper thing though, from past experiences and what not whistle.
