About East Village Meat Market J Baczynsky

 & why it made the Carpe City list

  • Just in case you don’t already know, starting in the 1870s and topping out just after World War II, this part of the East Village was home to a significant number of Eastern European immigrants, mostly Ukrainians.
  • So much so that this area has been deemed Little Ukraine. (See Veselka, Streecha, The Ukrainian Museum, and Shevchenko Scientific Society nearby.)
  • Founded by Julian Baczynsky in 1970, this meat market is one of the few remaining Ukrainian shops in the ‘hood.
  • The market is famous for its kielbasa, prepared fresh every day and smoked in the kitchen.
  • They also have a very tasty smoked ham selection and some Eastern European specialties like Pierogis and Babkas.
