What happened to this East Village institution? Service at Veselka has always been extremely slow and ridiculously inattentive, but one could rely on the good food and 24-hour convenience. No one would give us menus; okay, we?ll get them ourselves. No one would take our order; okay, shall we input it on the POS computer ourselves too? Challah bread arrived hard and crumbled; perhaps, those New York pigeons sent them back as inedible and we got them instead. The cold borscht arrived hot and the hot cabbage roll arrived cold. And the beer never arrived at all. This place is definitely resting?make that sleeping? nah, they?re just plain comatose!?on its precarious reputation. Guess if a business is making their nut, they don?t feel compelled to do any better. But please, at the very least be decent.
Pros: East Village Location and Open 24/7
Cons: Terrible Food and Even Worse Service
