Dinner at Veselka in the East Village

 Carrot Cake - very delicious.

 Meat Pierogi Platter - You get three or four meat pierogis and a serving of stuffed cabbage, which is stuffed with beef and pork and covered with mushroom gravy.

This is the Vegetable Pierogi Platter - three or four veggie pierogis and a serving of stuffed cabbage, stuffed with rice and mushrooms (I think) and covered with mushroom gravy.

We had dinner with our friend, Nadav, at Veselka on February 1, 2011. We love this place, but the food is heavy, so we only really crave it during winter months. Also, around Christmas, the traditional Ukrainian food is vegetarian, so it's really a great option for O. We like to go there on Xmas day.
