Wait a minute? You aren't an American? Or are you an American pretending not to be? Can I become cultured if I fry a russett in olive oil and watch the sun set on New Jersey?

Yes. Such entertainment as seeing an uncultured, fast-food-devouring American being processed on an iron maiden always improves the experience of a lavish Greek feast.

So Greek food is good if there is a distraction?

If you want to eat better Greek go to Pylos on East 7th. Diane Kochilas continues to present the most interesting and eclectic dishes from the far corners of the country. Molyvos is good, but Pylos achieves greatness.

Obviously never nibbled keftedes and french fries cooked in olive oil while watching the sun set on the temple of poseiden at sunion.

Greek food stinks. There is no such thing as good greek food. It doesn't matter who prepares it, because the composition of a greek dish is inherently disgusting.

They've opened a full-sized restaurant on Bedford called Snack Taverna. The avgolemoni (Greek version of chicken soup) at Snack could instigate vendettas. The excellent chicken mageiritsa at Molyvos is a cross between avgolemoni and the Greek Easter stew, mageiritsa, substituting the traditional lamb heart, liver, intestines, and lungs with chicken.

Mmm, stifado, so good. For a downtown version Greek, go to Snack on Thompson.

I used to eat at Molyvos fairly often when I worked in midtown. It's an oasis.
