"A word of warning: if Savvas Kazelas, the owner of this old-school spot, is there and in a good mood, he will regale guests with fabulous stories and might even offer a tot of his homemade ouzo. If he’s not, well, at least there’s the ambiance of this magical time capsule from the ‘60s. Its white pleather banquettes and wood paneling will transport drinkers to the three-martini lunch days of old downtown." - Serena Maria Daniels
