Veselka, the Ukrainian diner on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, is one of the few restaurants in the city that truly deserves to be called venerable, even iconic. Veselka has also become a center for New York’s support for embattled Ukrainians, as shown in Michael Fiore’s new documentary, “Veselka: The Rainbow on the Corner at the Center of the World.” (David Duchovny narrates.) Veselka’s third-generation proprietor, Jason Birchard, is of Ukrainian ancestry, and many of the staff are from the country as well. The film (in theaters now) starts as a fun story about a New York institution, and its tone is resolutely hopeful and convivial. I wrote about “Navalny,” Daniel Roher’s Oscar-winning documentary that covers his opposition to Russian President Vladimir V. Putin, and thought of other films that help illuminate the war in Ukraine years into the struggle.

States with Democratic governors saw steeper reductions to restaurants' hours than those led by Republicans, according to the report. Every state except Alaska saw a decrease in restaurants' average weekly operating hours. Eateries have trimmed their weekly operating hours by 7.5%, or 6.4 hours, compared with pre-pandemic schedules, according to a new report from Datassential . Denny's weekly hours have fallen by nearly a third, while Texas Roadhouse , IHOP and Subway have all seen their averages shrink by double digits. Those chains' significant drops in operating hours are likely due to the reduction of diners and other eateries that are open for 24 hours.
