Your Veselka Stories (Food for Thought)

Every New Yorker has a Veselka story. A new documentary follows second-generation owner Tom Birchard, as he plans to retire from running the beloved Ukrainian restaurant, an East Village staple. The film also follows the day to day of the restaurant in the midst of the war in Ukraine, and how the conflict affected the staff and changed what Veselka represents to New York's Ukrainian community. "Veselka: The Rainbow on the Corner at the Center of The World," is in select theaters tomorrow, and director Michael Fiore joins us alongside owners Tom and his son Jason Birchard to talk about the film, and we take your calls.
