This historic district is home to both old and new — century-old cathedrals share real estate with trendy cafes. As the traditionally working-class Eastern European enclave draws in younger residents, with it comes creativity in the form of forward-thinking restaurants, innovative cocktail bars and specialty boutiques. But that's not all there is — the spirit of Ukrainian Village endures through its welcoming accessibility.
The perfect choice morning, noon or night.
Filipino breakfast staple that is a can’t miss.
Uncle Mike’s has been a dive breakfast staple of ours for a few years now. As some of the first Filipino food we can ever remember trying, it’s opened the flood gates to our Filipino exploration throughout the city. Our top choice? The Tocino combo. A platter full of anise wine-cured pork shoulder, fried garlic rice topped with two eggs any style and a side of salsa. And if that isn’t enough, this combo starts with a hot bowl of lugao, a riced based chicken soup with a kick of fresh lemon and garlic. This place is a can’t miss.
