 Uncle George's is an experience, an amusing experience. 
 The food is cheap and the place is always bustling.  The 
 ambience is, well, interesting. Very noisy in the evenings. 
 They do serve wine -- very 
 cheap by carafe, but I don't know about hard stuff. 
  
 To find Uncle George's take the N or W train to the 30th 
 Avenue stop and walk a couple of blocks up Broadway to 
 34th Street. 
  
 There are several other Greek restaurants, more upscale, 
 in that area of Broadway, so you might want to stroll up and 
 down and take a look at the menus.
