"Bringing this exhibition to Cornell is important because it allows students to encounter Ukrainian culture not only through current events, but through a symbolic language that has been preserved for centuries."
A lot of things come together for the perfect pour, including temperature and the cleanliness of lines. Bottom line? Yes, it's all better in Ireland. However, that's not to say there aren't some outstanding Irish pubs in the U.S., because there are.
Now in the fourth year of a war sparked by Russia's 2022 invasion, life in Ukraine is challenging in ways that only those that have lived through something similar can even begin to comprehend. It's the loss of a generation of men fighting and dying on the front lines; civilian deaths and injuries caused by indiscriminate drone and missile attacks; acute shortages and the manifold disruptions of everyday life, not least of the hopes and aspirations of young ballet students in a country with a proud tradition in this art form.
The left bank of the Dnieper River has been very hard hit by Russian strikes, leaving most people in the dark for days on end. Their houses are without warmth and without electricity, and the old people try to heat themselves by wearing more clothes and turning on the gas of their stoves. They suffer a lot.
When the first Ukrainian-designed drone to be made in a German factory rolled off the production line last month, Volodymyr Zelenskyy knew it marked a turning point for the economy. With drone-making joint ventures also well advanced in Finland and Denmark, war-torn Ukraine has shown how its businesses can adapt and break out of their bomb-threatened domestic confines, becoming more integrated into the EU's industrial network with each passing day.
Four years into Russia's full-scale invasion, Ukraine continues to fight a war that has reshaped every aspect of its public and private life. Since returning from my recent brief journey to my home city, I have found myself having the same conversation repeatedly: Lviv is far from the frontlines, so is life simply normal there?
New York is home to some of the most varied and raved-about restaurants in the U.S., from hole-in-the wall pizza spots to world-famous fine dining. Along with the excellent independent restaurants and diners are some impressive chain restaurant options diners love, from popular Chinese chains to delicious Peruvian and salad spots. So which ones are worth visiting? Here are seven of the best regional chain restaurants in New York, according to customers.
Many U.S. cities are renowned for vibrant, thriving food scenes and a history of contributions to the culinary landscape of the country. Few can boast the history of Chicago, and if you're thinking about deep-dish pizza, that's just the beginning. Did you know you can make a case that Chicago is truly the birthplace of McDonald's? Ray Kroc's first location was opened in Des Plaines,
UNESCO expressed "serious concern" about recent Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities "that have caused damage to civilian infrastructures, including heritage sites" in Odesa, Lviv, and Kyiv.
There is nothing quite as eerie as living in a city with no power. Outside, ice and snow, Inside, there is no water from the tap, no electricity, not even the background noise of normal life. The city goes quiet, unnaturally quiet, until the low growl of generators breaks the silence. In that moment, everything stops. It feels apocalyptic, not because of panic or chaos, but because of what's missing.

Seneca Garden II (did I mention the other Seneca Garden is an under-15-minute walk away?) is locally beloved for its pierogi, and the boiled meat and cheese ones are the best. The spices are subtle, and the dough is thick but never rigid, achieving that covetable bounce and bend that I want with my dumplings. The side dishes steal the show: Opt for one of the many sauerkraut sides, or the simmered tomato butter beans.
Fresh polish sausages are made of raw, semi-finely ground pork, sometimes beef or veal, and they are usually seasoned simply, with garlic, marjoram, and pepper. The key factor in considering the optimal cooking method for your kiełbasa is the "raw" part. Throwing fresh Polish sausage straight onto a hot grill is a way to get it to be cooked through to edibility, but it can cause quality-affecting problems, like burst casings or an uneven, charred exterior wrapped around a still-raw center.
If you want to dine like it's 1899, look no further than these historic restaurants. From 17th-century taverns to classic dining cars, historic restaurants with enduring legacies are scattered across the United States, each with its own rich history. Business Insider identified the oldest continuously operating restaurants in the country - some dating back to before the US was founded - where diners can still enjoy historic charm and classic comfort foods, such as turkey dinners and burgers.
While the phrase "hidden gem" is wildly overused in food and travel writing, the cliche rings true for Cincinnati, Ohio, an under-the-radar Midwestern dining destination that many people can't spell, much less find on a map. Typically, if someone does have an opinion about the city's cuisine, it's a hot take on how freaky Cincinnati chili is. But there's much more to eat here than cinnamon-infused meat sauce and cheddar cheese on spaghetti (although, respectfully, you should try that, too).
