Pop’s Pierogi

[NY News Team]

As the weather gets cooler, diners look for more stick-to-your-ribs fare, and Pop’s Pierogi may have just the thing. Choose from blintzes and pierogi (dumplings) and pelmeny (ravioli) stuffed with ground beef or lamb or veal, potato, cabbage, cheese, or sour cherries – and served with the traditional toppings: a dollop of sour cream and oil & white vinegar. You won’t go thristy here, either. Unusual options include kompote (a stewed-fruit drink), kvas (made from fermented bread), and tarragon-flavored soda. – Eden Blum

In the NYTimes today, Asimov reviews Pop's Pierogi in the West Village. I love well made pierogis, and ate them with some regularity at Teresa's when I lived in Brooklyn Heights. Except for maybe the Lower East Side, I expected to find these dumplings only in the outer boroughs. Has anyone been to Pop's yet? Are there other places to find good pierogis in Manhattan? I give this guy credit for opening a shop with a carbohydrate menu in the face of the Atkins revolution.

Just two blocks from where I used to live in NYC. DC definitely does not have a pierogi joint.

Joe... this is a sign from above that we need to get a delegation together, head over to Pop's and sample the simple carbohydrates.

oohhhh, I LOVE pelmeni. I've been searching for some ever since Blini Hut closed, they had a great pelmeni soup.

One of these days I will haul my butt to Brighton Beach to eat pelmeni soup there. And pierogis. And blintzes. And.....
