"If you’re OK with slightly more expensive cocktails (including a $28 martini), try Ophelia. It’s another rooftop bar in Midtown, and it’s a little more upscale than the Refinery Hotel. It has a big art-deco themed indoor area, you can make a reservation in advance, and you can sit on a red banquette with a view of the part of NYC where you happen to work and somehow spend most of your time." - bryan kim
"If you want Greek brunch, Ovelia on 30th Avenue in Astoria is the best place to have it. During weekend mornings, they have Greek-inspired dishes like bacon egg and cheese on pita, and a very good stack of baklava pancakes (made with whole wheat flour, walnuts, and a lot of honey). At dinner, the menu is a bit more traditional, with dips, salads, and massive entrees. If you eat meat, the monastiraki bifteki is what you should be ordering here—it comes with fries and kebabs with ground lamb, beef, and pork." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus

"Ovelia on 30th Avenue is serving their Greek dishes for dinner every day and brunch on weekend mornings. We especially like the Greek-inspired brunch dishes here, like bacon egg and cheese on pita and a very good stack of baklava pancakes (made with whole wheat flour, walnuts, and a lot of honey). At dinner, the menu is a bit more traditional, with dips, salads, and massive entrees. Get the monastiraki bifteki - it comes with fries and kebabs with ground lamb, beef, and pork." - hannah albertine
