#Kiev was the name of the coffee shop where i first fell in love. it didn't work out but i still have the memory of that matzo ball soup. btw, that’s where i met Allen Ginsburg and Quentin Crisp. twas their favorite spot.

Veselka is the last remaining bastion of the East Village’s #Ukraina past. now that i columbused The Carol of The Bells is an ukrainian folk song, i get why i used to hear it everywhere here.

just reckoned, the East Village #xmas of yore is ukrainian.

so happy #kievmas
