Veselka
144 2nd Avenue
New York, NY
We're expanding the international flavor of
#BromptonNYC to include the East Village Ukrainian staple Veselka (which means
"Rainbow" by the way)!!
Tom, Veselka's owner and a Brompton rider, is
generously offering a discounted menu to #BromptonNYC and so we'll have extra
reason to enjoy their legendary food and service! This is the first big event
of the #BromptonNYC season and truly opens the summer riding season. We'll
discuss upcoming events, meet and greet friends old and new, and party it up
Brompton style on the bike lanes and at one of NYC's culinary gems!
Here's a schedule for the day:
8PM - Optional Ride
MEET AT BROMPTON CAFE IN WILLIAMSBURG.
We'll start with a moderately paced ride from the Brompton cafe in Williamsburg, ride though the Brooklyn waterfront to the Navy Yards, turn South along Vanderbilt towards Prospect Park, do 1 or 2 laps of the park depending on time, head back along Vanderbilt and Flushing to Dumbo, cross the Manhattan Bridge, ride South on the East River Greenway, turn North to follow the Hudson River, enter the West Village at Christopher Street, ride east, and finally end up at our destination - Veselka!

11:15 - We arrive at Veselka, meet anyone who
couldn't make the group ride, fold up, take our seats outside along 2nd ave and
get settled. Veselka is generously offering a discounted menu to Brompton
riders and so we'll have extra reason to enjoy their legendary food and
service!
At Midnight we'll feast on Borscht, Pierogi,
fine Ukrainian beers, and more! Did I mention a, "How to fold a
Pierogi" lesson from Veselka's master makers? No? Well we are still
sorring out details but if all goes well we'll have a chance put our folding skills
to the test and craft our very own Brompt-rogi! The only question is - what
should we fill them with???
Join us for a fun ride and a good old time!
Special thanks to Veselka for all they've done
to make this night a reality!
