Veselka Grand Central Terminal

Grand Central Station has so much to look at. From the history to the ceilings, to the food options and stores. They have something for everyone. I didn’t realize the Vanderbilt connection until this trip that they helped build the facility thanks to a family friend who is an architect. It’s now connected to the One Summit Vanderbilt building next door. The building itself in the inner aspects is set up like Roman Bath Houses. When you go down to the lower level, you find the dining concourse. This is a wonderful hodge podge of different cuisine. There’s tacos, there’s baked goods at Magnolia Bakery. There’s ice cream from Van Leehauwen. There’s the stuff you can’t easily find elsewhere though. That’s how I found Veselka. Established in the 1950s, they serve Ukrainian food. I was impressed with their vegetarian options! There’s a vegetarian borscht, combo plate, beet and goat cheese salad, a veggie burger or a grilled cheese sandwich. I wanted to get pierogis on this trip and Veselka delivered. I got the goat cheese & arugula boiled. It came with sautéed onions and sour cream. The onions are optional. The sour cream added a great flavor to the pierogis. This was a great experience. Definitely worth going back to.

I stopped by Veselka at Grand Central and tried the cheese omelette and their sandwich. It was hearty, flavorful, and cooked just right, with a great balance of gooey melted cheese. The omelette came with a toast—which was an excellent side. The bread was warm and perfectly toasted. Service was quick and friendly, which was perfect for the busy terminal setting. The atmosphere was lively, but still comfortable enough to enjoy the meal. A great spot for a quick and satisfying breakfast in the heart of Manhattan. Must try their omelettes! One of the best I’ve had in the city.
