We had to take three trains to Manhattan Avenue in Brooklyn. It was a tiny restaurant, that looked more like a home once inside. The lighting was minimal, just what was streaming through the store-front windows and door and dim table lamps. The windows had a pair of white, lace cut-out curtains; there were three house plants atop the window sill. The tables were adorned with white tablecloths, with tiny red flowers and lace cut-outs. The walls were decorated with two deer hands, whether it was real, I could not tell; paintings that you could buy at discount stores as well as framed newspaper clippings of past reviews of the restaurant.
We were hungry, and ate almost all of what we ordered, and we ordered a lot. For appetizers we ordered borscht with dumplings, cucumber salad, beet salad, meat pierogies and kopytka. ALL very tasty. The borscht had an interesting taste, but nice; the polish platter which is what I ordered - very tasty. It consisted of mashed potatoes, stuffed cabbage, beets, kielbasa, bigos (another cabbage dish) and a sweet pierogies. DH ordered beef goulash. There was enough for the three of us to eat and to bring home. All in all, a good supper.
It was a weekend of worldly cuisines - yesterday we had an early dinner at Empanada Mama in midtown and Saturday's dinner was at Seoul Garden in Korea Town.
