Tale of 2 Restaurants
01/27/2006 Posted by eat_club
Actually there are TWO Odessas, next door neighbors. One is the original from the 60s(?). It's run down, divey looking and not crowded. The other is more modern with bright lighting and more of a roadside diner feel. The specialty food (NOT Russian, more Jewish/Polish) is good and plentiful. You'll take some home. The service is NY style friendly. with enough joking rudeness and "try the Kielbasa, but what do I know I'm Greek" to please the fussiest out-of-towner. Our group had a ball. --Eat Club is a roving NYC group of gluttons.
Pros: Good filling food, Great service
