The highly anticipated Williamsburg outpost of Veselka (646 Lorimer St.) opened this past June. The Ukrainian restaurant’s newest location is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner seven days a week.

Why your support matters
Nicely written and beautifully photographed. I went to the restaurant, food was good, staff nice, owner nice but the place is way overpriced.
PS: Note to seniors 60+ in Greenpoint. Leonard St. senior center has a mean mushroom barley soup for $1.50 with a five course meal with it, included, chicken, beef, pork, vegan, fish , potato, veggie, and it is served at a table with all the utensils.
Place is a gold mine.
