For the last 70 years, the restaurant Veselka has become a staple of the New York food scene, serving up Ukrainian food in the East Village.
A new documentary, “Veselka: The Rainbow on the Corner at the Center of the World,” highlights the restaurant's legacy and shows how it has supported Ukraine in the last two years.
Anchors Shannan Ferry and Rocco Veruccio spoke with the current owner of Veselka, Jason Birchard, and the film's director, Michael Fiore, about the documentary Sunday morning on NY1.
