First Park Has a New Tenant

lekioskfirstpark_6-30-06.jpg
It looks like Le Kiosk at First Park will be replaced by an outpost of Velselka. Workers were busy renovating the space this morning to serve a mix of hot and cold food, as well as ice cream and beverages. Will end up essentially as a mini version of the menu served at the restaurant.

Expect a re-opening by mid-July

As MD says...developing.

Veselka nowadays is a consciouly yuppified place. The food is passable, the the old Vesalka was more of an Eastern European diner. And much more enjoyable.

Veselka is a GREAT place for kids. They give out these Wiki Sticks for your kid to keep occupied with while the adults finish eating. I hate that there are flies buzzing around us (even indoors!). That's a big yucky con. We go there pretty often.
