This historic district is home to both old and new — century-old cathedrals share real estate with trendy cafes. As the traditionally working-class Eastern European enclave draws in younger residents, with it comes creativity in the form of forward-thinking restaurants, innovative cocktail bars and specialty boutiques. But that's not all there is — the spirit of Ukrainian Village endures through its welcoming accessibility.
The perfect choice morning, noon or night.
Filipino breakfast staple that is a can’t miss.
Upton’s Breakroom is the vegan cafe connected to Upton’s Naturals, a homegrown manufacturer of seitan products available nationwide. It also just so happens to be the closest lunch spot to our studio. Everything on their menu is 100% vegan – not there’s anything wrong with that. We are unabashed meatlovers, but every now and then a Togarashi Bowl (baked tofu, grilled kale, carrots, pickled radish, scallion, shredded seaweed, sesame seeds over purple rice with a lemon tahini miso dressing) really hits the spot. And the café gets bonus points for its airy, minimal aesthetic.
