There are 2 locations, but the one on Allen and Delancey is the best. The food is very very good, and I'm not normally a huge fan of Chinese. Definitely try the Congee and the Garlicky greens. Plus the $4 Lychee Martinis are unbelievable! Fri Apr 21 09:39:19 -0700 2006 1237378 0 NYC Foodie 2 1237688 Thanks for the suggestions! We will definitely be trying some of them! Will check back before we go, so any other suggestions will be appreciated as well!

For Greek food, I LOVE The Symposium. It has been in the same spot for over 30 yrs. When I looked at their menu online, I was delighted to see that the atmosphere (colorful artwork on the walls) and food are unchanged and that menu items have not increased much in price. Don't let that fool you--the food is SUPERB! I will be returning to NYC for the first time since '76, and staying in the W. Village...but will make a special trip to The Symposium, on W. 113th St. east of Bdwy., in the Columbia Univ. area, for an early dinner one evening. Google it and find the entire menu.
