Little Ukraine
The area of the East Village centered on 6th and 7th street between 1st and 3rd Avenues used to be known as “Little Ukraine.” Even though the neighborhood is now diverse and has mostly lost its nickname, there are still some hidden gems left over from when the area was a Ukrainian mecca. The best days to embark on your mini tour of Ukraine would be Wednesday through Sunday, because that is when the Ukrainian Museum is open. Even though it is not Ukrainian, we recommend grabbing an ice cream at The Big Gay Ice Cream Shop after your meal at Veselka, while you are in the area.
