to eat at S'agapo in Astoria is to be carried off to europe. the food is delicately prepared (we reccommend the Cretan Roast Lamb, available Fridays-Sundays). the owner, Barbara Lambrakis is a warm intelligent hostess. the clientele are greek-american intelligenzia, artists, doctors and local politicos. movie stars and directors from the Kaufman-Astoria Movie Studios across the street are always in attendence, even Martha (you-know-who) has been known to send in her driver for take-out when filming in the nearby studios.

the regulars are a group of international characters and it's a wonderful new york moment when you discover you are also a eccentric S'Agapo regular!
