Opa!
Wednesday, March 15, 2006
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Morningside Heights. It's hidden in the middle of W 113th St. between Broadway and Amsterdam on the south side. The food is very good, as is the sangria and the service. Get the flaming cheese (I think it's called Saganaki) which is brought out by a waiter who shouts "Opa!", and wait a few moments before extinguishing the flames with the provided lemon wedges. Not so sure they actually do this in Greece, but it's fun nonetheless.
