Veselka outpost to open in July

Last Friday, the kids over at Gothamist discovered that East Village Ukrainian diner Veselka is about to open an outpost at First Park, on the corner of First Avenue and First Street (“One of only two places in Manhattan where a numbered street meets an avenue with the same number,” according to New York Songlines).

The new mini-Veselka will replace Le Kiosk, and is expected to serve more or less the same stuff as at their home base on Second Avenue. The grand opening is expected by mid-July.
