Korchma Taras Bulba
This adorable Ukrainian-Russian restaurant in SoHo has a bright atmosphere and extensive menu featuring homestyle appetizers, entrees, and desserts. This place is more interested in traditional elements and less about vodka shots and Cold War imagery. Pictures on their menu will help you decide in advance what you'll be in the mood for. Consider trying one of their seven varieties of dumplings and fresh squeezed juices and give it a go.
