Taverna Opa

Top of the list for good-time dining, Opa is a big spartan barn of a place that quickly fills most nights with rafter-raising raucousness. The inspiration is festive Greek; the eats are meze, meat and grilled seafood; the plates are for smashing; and the tables are for dancing on. Order a Zorbatini—vodka, blue curacao, pineapple juice and banana liqueur—and let it be known: Greece is the word.
