Food scene
This is excellent Greek cuisine! Love the fact that the bottles of wine paid with food are sold slightly above retail versus 10x the cost (please check as menu prices evolve all the time :) ) ... Because of how popular it is, there's always a line. Sometimes calling ahead works, but most people walk over there (<5mins) and if there's a wait, your name would be jotted down and you'll be called when seats are available!
The food portions are large and tastes YUMMY!

Hookah Lounge
The whole of Steinway is populated with hookah lounges. Melody Lounge has a great night scene as well. There are other quiet shisha lounges on that block so this is a reference point.
