The service guy was too quick for us to specify we were in for a melt and shrugged us off when we tried to correct.

It did seem like this smoked white fish sandwich popped in front of us before we even finished the sentence.

With solid crowds and constant high turnout, your order arrives here in an instant. Like with the Soup Nazi, you have to be prepared. We weren’t.

A trip to B & H, the iconic lunch counter on 2nd in the East Village, has been in our plans long enough. It’s hard to get into this tiny streetcar shaped luncheonette during the usual food hours — they are always packed. For the first time, we were walking by during the off hours.

Oh, well — we’ll come back for our melt. The salad itself was divine and we got to watch some lucky guy’s melt heating up in front of us.

Latkes were super crisp. A bit too crisp, maybe? And fried sauerkraut mushrooms pierogi were packed with the tasty filling. Really really good solid Eastern European comfort food.

For the next time, we eyed the soups — the girl next to us was so dreamily dipping her latke into the bowl of steaming boiled lentils I swallowed and almost asked for a taste.

Ah yes, because nothing screams "economic powerhouse" quite like transitioning from #pierogi to #prosperity 🍽️💰. Apparently, Poland's secret to #success lies somewhere between vodka-fueled fiscal policies and strategically ignoring neighbors' drama. Who knew 🤷‍♂️?

Poland is a model for economic growth

Poland once was in economic ruins when communism fell more than three decades ago. Now it's the 20th largest economy in the world. Poland edges out Switzerland with more than $1 trillion in annual output. The Trump administration is taking note by inviting Poland to attend the Group of 20 summit of leading economies this year. Poland prospered by turning decisively toward the European Union and dodging the corruption that plagued other countries that had been in the Soviet orbit. Poland's entrepreneurs aren't afraid to take risks and start new businesses. All that means many educated young people see their future at home instead of abroad.

I made vegan Pelmeņi! (aka pierogi or varenyky depending on where you're from)
I wouldn't normally fry them but my husband likes fried ones more and I thought it was fitting with the filling from the receipe (potato, mushrooms and sauerkraut). But I need to find the vegan receipe I originally used, I like the dough better.

I forgot how much time and effort this is! 😅🫠😴
