Ukraine

Not too long ago, my sister went to NYC and I urged her to go to Veselka in the East Village, ten years ago I went and had an extraordinary meal, in a wonderful ambiance.
She didn't listen to me and went to the russian tea room instead. Well that was a mistake, she said the atmosphere was tepid, the waiter service drab, the food bland.
She should have listened to me. Some people are stubborn and have a worse time because of it.

That's pretty cool. Wonder what Ukrainian food is like?
