2. Streecha
Another stand-out option for Ukrainian dining in the East Village is Streecha. Located basement-level at 33 E 7th Street, Streecha is a relatively new restaurant that serves traditional Ukrainian dishes without any unnecessary flair. Seemingly an unassuming small room with traditional decorations on the walls and simplistic tablecloths, this joint serves top-tier food at an affordable price. Streecha even lets anyone interested learn more about the making of their tasty food by letting volunteers help fold the varenyky on Saturdays between 8 AM and 11 AM.
