Editorial Review for Odessa – by Jessica Branch
In Short
This East Village 24-hour eatery is equal parts diner dive, hipster hangout and old-style Russian staple. Not glitzy, but generous, it remains a warm, inexpensive oasis on the continuously gentrifying Avenue A. The menu reads like a diner in Odessa: kasha varnishkes, blintzes, borscht and more cabbage incarnations than you can count.

Great pirogies, latkes. Skip the matzo ball soup. Can't beat a place where you can fill your belly with potatoes and then drink some good vodka afterwards for not much more than 10 bucks. LOVE this place, feel like I'm doing my eastern european grandparents proud by supporting such an institution.

This is my favorite after-hours diner. It's also my default place when Sushi Lounge (on the corner) is too busy. Consistently good food, from breakfast to dinner meals. Their pierogies are yummy, the belgian waffles just right, the pasta dinners hearty, and omelettes yummy. Good stuff.
Pros: Consistently good food.
Cons: Ambiance. But hey, it's a diner!
