The dining room looks good to go, but the new Bowery location of Veselka won't open for another four to six weeks. One reason for the delay is that owner Tom Birchard is looking for "a chef that has gotten around and done stages with the more accomplished chefs like Daniel Boulud or Jean-Georges Vongerichten, but also has a love and appreciation for Eastern European peasant food, or comfort food." The menu will feature 75% new dishes, and the bar will have an extensive vodka program. [The Local EV]
