New documentary explores the 70-year history of Veselka restaurant and its support for Ukraine

The Ukrainian American restaurant Veselka made its debut in the Lower East Side of New York City in 1954. Veselka, which means rainbow in Ukrainian, was founded by Volodymyr and Olha Darmochwal in 1954. Their son-in-law Tom Birchard later took over management and operated the restaurant for many years. Eventually he passed the torch to his son Jason during the early days of the COVID pandemic. Michael Fiore, a documentary filmmaker, is now releasing his inspiring movie about this father-and-son team who have helped make Veselka an icon in the local Lower East Side community and beyond. You can find out more about the movie and its rollout schedule here. https://veselka.com/pages/veselka-the-movie And, more about Veselka here. https://veselka.com/
