AI-generated summary
A luncheonette from the 1920s that still mixes its coke from syrup and seltzer. Get an egg cream, a malt or one of the freezes, and the if you want lunch. People warn it's overpriced for diner food and that some of it is nothing special. There can be a line.
NYC classic — Soterios Philis, who emigrated from Northern Epirus in 1921, opened the luncheonette in 1925 and added a candy counter in 1930. It stopped making its own chocolates and ice cream in 1948 to focus on the lunch counter. His grandson John still runs it, and it is known for its milkshakes. Wikipedia
