The Day I Was Lifted Above the Battlefield—During Brunch

<p>My friend Larry broke his hip in a sidewalk fall a few months ago and was convalescing in his East Village apartment in New York City.</p> <p>He had just graduated from a walker to a cane, and he decided he wanted to celebrate by venturing out for brunch in the neighborhood.</p> <p>The venerable Ukrainian restaurant, Veselka, was just two blocks from his apartment and although it&rsquo;s always packed on Saturdays we decided it was the closest place near him with decent food.</p> <p>I lead the way into Veselka&rsquo;s crowded entrance area and added our name to the waiting list for a table for two. We were told it would be about 15 minutes.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@firstmetanoian/the-day-i-was-lifted-above-the-battlefield-during-brunch-1bca7a3c6b96"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
