Veselka Bowery has beverage director; will open early next month

[Bobby Williams]

The Post had a feature yesterday on new restaurants, chefs and what not. I didn't read it. But... an EVG reader did, and noted that the Post included Veselka Bowery in its round-up, even running a photo of the new restaurant's beverage director.


Per the paper:

Count the bottles of Eastern European vodkas at Veselka Bowery (9 E. First St.; 212-387-7000), offspring of the beloved East Village Ukrainian soul-food joint. The new spot, opening in early October, will boast a full bar focused on small-producer vodkas from Poland, Ukraine and Russia, and an expanded menu. “It will be different and creative,” promises owner Tom Birchard.

“It will be different and creative"

Interpretation:

"It will be artisanal and expensive."

It appears that Veselka has jumped the shark.

Hotels and casinos need beverage directors. Seriously, does a (what, 100 seat or so?) NY restaurant need them for anything besides press releases?

For a long time now I've been hoping for a diner in the area where I can afford to eat on a regular basis. I was praying that this would be the one, but it's not gonna be, is it? I'm soooo sad.
