Original Title and Artist unknown. Veselka means "Rainbow" in English.
Veselka is a Ukrainian 24-hour restaurant in New York City’s East Village.
It was established in 1954 by post-World War II Ukrainian refugees and is one of the last of the many Slavic restaurants that once proliferated the neighborhood.
New York City is a mecca for graffiti and street and urban art, making it a very attractive playground for artists from around the world.
New York City is a treasure trove of street art. From professionally painted murals to gritty graffiti, this artistic form of self-expression initially gained prominence in the early 1980s and since then, visual artists from all across the globe have flocked to the concrete jungle to create urban masterpieces. A head-turning gamut of wheat-pasted posters, pop art, street installations, sculptures and massive wall murals can be observed from all of the five boroughs.
