Stage Restaurant, East Village, NYC

Stage Restaurant on 2nd Avenue near St. Mark’s Place was founded by Roman Diakun in 1980 and had only one long lunch counter where you could sit and eat their #Ukrainian comfort food.

Even though though Stage was forced to close in 2016 after a landlord dispute, we featured its former home in our latest YouTube video: UKRAINIAN FOOD TOUR.
