As a Polish born and raised, I felt incredibly proud seeing how modern the restaurant is while still keeping that authentic folk character. I loved all the thoughtful Polish touches, from the beautiful panoramic illustration of the transatlantic ship to the PRL style plates and cups, and even small details like the Pierogi Boys font. It really felt like home. Now the food… I would honestly say these are the best pierogi I have had in America. I would even argue they could compete with my babcia’s pierogi, which is saying a lot. The meat and sauerkraut were absolutely delicious. I was also so happy to see soups like white barszcz and Ukrainian barszcz done properly, full of flavor and real ingredients. You can truly tell everything is made with love, and that is why it tastes so good. We came for lunch, but we will definitely be back for dinner next time. Of course, we could not leave without stopping by the market for some pączki, and they tasted just like they came straight from a bakery in Poland. Keep it up, Boys, and congratulations on creating such an amazing place. PS Dear waiters and waitresses, please do not forget about the guests sitting in the corner. We had to wait about 15 minutes for our bill. Do zobaczenia 😊
very cute and cozy spot serving up great pierogis and borscht. it was my first time trying white borscht and i think i prefer it now over the red. the pierogis were filling and delicious and also definitely give the reuben a try. the rueben was probably one of my favorite bites from this whole meal. the best part is after you finish eating, you can head to the market that it is connected to.
I can’t get over what a lovely spot this is. The ambiance is just as cozy and detailed as the food. As someone who doesn’t love mushrooms, eggs or gin I thoroughly enjoyed the mushroom pierogi, the Ukrainian borscht and a divine gin cocktail (the Happy Sad) only to be pleasantly surprised by the beet ice cream. The service was phenomenal and I left feeling warmed despite it being the coldest night so far this winter. I can’t wait to come back! The little market through the stained glass window is a must too.
My partner and I were excited to try this new addition to the neighborhood. We felt the food was good, and we really liked the atmosphere. The white borcht was delicious, the pierogis were large and delicious too but both my partner and I felt it lacked something. Our main dishes, the schnitzel was a pleasant surprise, the components of this dish were definitely meant to be eaten together (the anchovies brought the saltiness that the schnitzel lacked, if eaten alone there was really not much flavor to it). Overall, would return for their borcht and other menu items.
Pierogi Boys Market & Restaurant is such a fantastically designed and aesthetically perfect place! Everything looks phenomenal and tastes even better. One morning I tried the almond raspberry croissant—and it was truly divine! The next afternoon I went to eat pierogi, and they didn’t disappoint either. The soft dough, aromatic and delicious filling (I had the Potato & Cheese) was served with caramelized onions, sour cream, and fresh chives. Last night we went for a drink. I tried "Bałtyk," a cocktail based on gin. At first the taste was a bit surprising, but with every sip I started to like it. The place has a great ambiance! As a Pole, I'm genuinely delighted that New York has welcomed a cutting-edge establishment which manages to showcase Polish cuisine in such a fresh, cool way. Highly recommended!
