Here Be Barr thank you so much and hope we can show you around more neighborhood spots struggling to survive as the list is sadly very long. Let’s definitely plan another collaboration and help these small businesses survive!
Ah Veselka one of the places used to visit in 90s. Still looks same! Now while I personally love it people who born in Ukraine and other ex-USSR will tell you that food tastes different than what they used to - perhaps American influence. Even idea of apple sauce for vareniki which I like I never saw until visiting this place.
ilyaLNYC we are glad our video brought back good memories of spending time at Veselka. We definitely agree that the food they serve has an American influence as they create lots of new flavors and use ingredients in some dishes which definitely are not used in the Ukraine such as their short rib varenyky and their goat cheese and arugula filled one too.
Christine Wilson you are most welcome! We are so glad that you enjoyed seeing your hometown and plan to visit Veselka once you are able to travel back. Much love from NYC.
Karen Madden thank you so much for the love! The day you have planned is perfect! We highly recommend the blintzes at Veselka for breakfast and they even have a bacon, egg and cheese filled pierogi dish for breakfast. And of course any sandwich from Russo’s as all are made to order and then some cannoli and fruit tarts from Veniero’s! We are trying to help save these small businesses as best we can by recommending them to others!
Thank you for doing this video. I will go to Russo's and get some Mozzarella, to Veniero's and get some pastries and to Veselka for some Stroganoff when I'm back in the city on Sunday!
Ann McDermott you are most welcome! We are trying to help save these small businesses with every post and video. We love your plan of getting some fresh mozzarella from Russo’s and then go next door to Veniero’s for pastries and then ending the day at Veselka for some stroganoff! Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
I must say Karla have always, all that interesting and loving comments about people and everything, and that is definitely one of the most beautiful things about this chanel, i really appreciate your work, and the people you are, thanks for let me see my fav neigborhood in the way you living it and with all this struggles for cov, thank you guys, send you the best vives, and pets for Hudson ❤️
Cat we can’t thank you enough for the kind words of support! We really appreciate the love ❤️ and will continue to highlight the wonderful shops and places which help make each neighborhood of NYC unique. Hudson sends big kisses and paws 🐾 up to you too!
This was really cool to watch. I got to go to NYC as a special sweet 16 weekend (YEARS ago) and spent most of the time hopping from one restaurant to the next 😅 makes me want to go back and try more places
the Word in Red thank you so much for watching and the wonderful feedback. We hope you can visit again as soon as you feel it is safe to do so. In our neighborhood there are certainly many good restaurants and cafes to try with all different kinds of food. Today, the NYU students came back to their dorms in the East Village, so it is good to see our neighborhood slowly coming back to life.
nimi vashi thank you so much for the love! We are so glad you found our channel and have been enjoying watching and discovering the many places and unique small businesses we have highlighted in NYC. Thank you again for watching and commenting back to us. As a fellow New Yorker, we hope you get to visit some of these wonderful spots soon.
Hello Karla And James,Just Have To Say I Love BeBarr And His Wife,,They Are Amazing Couple!! Just Like KarlaAnd James!!!!💥✨❣️❤️💜💕💓💖💝💞🤎🧡💫🌺🐝🍒💙♌️🌼🖤💝🤎💗💓💞❣️🕉❣️. Cecilia Del Carmen....✨🕉✨💗🍒💖💘🧡💫🐝🌺🐝🍒🍒🍒❣️✨💥🌺🌻🌻🌻☘️☘️☘️
Those sandwiches from Russo’s look spectacular. There’s nothing like the combination of mozzarella, tomatoes, and balsamic vinegar. Yummo. Great video!! I love seeing these one-off mom & pop stores.
John Kormendi you are most welcome! We are glad our video brought back good memories of the East Village and of the wonderful food available. We hope our video helps these family-owned businesses survive.
This is so helpful right now so that we can all support small businesses! And thank you for calling them varenyky (Ukrainian) and not pierogies (Polish) :) Never understood why they call them the latter because the ingredients are different. Maybe because more people are familiar with pierogies or the founders were from Western Ukraine closer to Poland? Anyway, I hope people become familiar with the differences. Stay safe!
Sunny Days we are so glad you enjoyed our video as it made us so happy to highlight these amazing small businesses which are struggling to survive. We definitely notice the difference between Varenyky and pierogi as we have had both. If you have never tried the varenyky from Veselka, we highly recommend them and although some of them are less traditional and have uniquely American ingredients like egg and cheese they are all delicious. Thank you so much for watching and commenting as we really appreciate the support.
Narain Tulshi thank you so much! We are trying to help save as many small businesses as possible as so many are struggling to survive the Coronavirus. Much love from NYC!
Christian Donatti oh yes the prosciutto is delicious and in fact we had some tonight and even Hudson had a slice! Hope you are also staying safe and healthy. Much love 💕 from NYC.
Jordan Lol we are so glad you enjoyed our video and have been supporting Russo’s by getting their delicious sandwiches and of course the #4 and #7 are a! We went there on Wednesday eve and purchased the last sandwich they could make as they were sold out of bread 🥖 for the night! It makes us so happy to know our video has made a difference!
I’m in the east village and this was great. I’m in Russos and Venieros once a week, trying to support these community greats as much as my wallet and waist line will allow. Going to hut that summer borscht if I can, looks real good. ❤️
krosfyah we are so glad you are already supporting these gems. We definitely recommend Veselka’s summer borscht as it was delicious and refreshing on a hot summer day. If you see us walking our dog Hudson around the East Village please stop us and say 👋 hi! Thank you so much for the ❤️!
Bernadette Andros we couldn’t agree more! It bags everything you could ever want or need to make a true Italian meal! 🍝🇮🇹 Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Jerry C WCTC it would be difficult not to be hungry after seeing all the delicious food we highlighted. We hope you can visit and support these wonderful small businesses!
We love Veniero’s too and wanted to help them as they are such a wonderful family owned business and deserve to be around for many more generations. Thank you so much for watching and commenting and let us know what you order from them as we will highlight on our Instagram story and Patreon page.

Cak 813 all the sandwiches Russo’s makes are extra extra good but our favorite certainly are those caprese sandwiches on fresh ciabatta bread 🥖 🇮🇹❤️

I've been going to Russos as much as I can after I saw this video. Their sandwiches are on point, I must say. I really enjoy the #4 and #7.

I love Velselka...may they survive!
Oh yes we hope they survive too! They are a true East Village gem 💎 and of course we love their borscht and pierogi!
I’m in the east village and this was great. I’m in Russos and Venieros once a week, trying to support these community greats as much as my wallet and waist line will allow. Going to hut that summer borscht if I can, looks real good. ❤️
