The Stage

For good pierogi, we fondly recall a Polish meal at Kredens, open these several years now. But the trip to Ridgewood, Queens is a long one, so instead we head up to our favorite Ukranian diner, the Stage. Where we are equally and happily satiated with a cup of cold borscht to counter the hot summer weather, followed by a small plate of mixed meat and potato, homemade, fried pierogi with caramalized onions. The Stage, and its always satisfying comfort food, has not changed in the decade since we were introduced to it, and we hope it never does.
