Pierogi Day returns to the East Village Meat Market.

On Saturday, Oct. 11, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., pierogies will be 25% off — roughly $1 each. 

Expect steam tables filled with housemade pierogies from Rosa-Ly, Veselka, and East Village Meat Market, along with more than 10 types of blintzes, smoked meats, kielbasa, grilled sausages, and J. Baczynsky's brisket. 

I stopped by the other day while Roman Ilnicki and his father, Andrew Ilnicki, were preparing to hang the Pierogi Day signage. The rest of the staff on duty also gathered for a quick group shot.

East Village Meat Market is at 139 Second Ave. between St. Mark's Place and Ninth Street.
