Restaurant near Moving Image Museum? (NYC)

Can anyone recommend a place to eat near the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria? I want a place that is quite nearby, if such exists. Someplace we can get something to eat around 5 pm. Not fancy, just find-able.

There is a Tequilla Sunrise mexican restaurant in the neighborhood that i have been to.

Also nearby, but a looong walk (20 minutes) but a short (5 minute cab ride) is Sac's Pizza for one of the best square pizza slices NYC has to offer!

Elizabeth, I have one word for you -- Greek! There is a large Greek population and many, many Greek restaurants in this area. We were taken there by a friend who grew up in the neighborhood so I don't remember the exact name of the restaurant. If I can find out, I'll post back here.

For Greek food, Uncle George is a neighborhood institution. It's about a 15 minute walk at 33-19 Broadway.

To get to Uncle George from the museum, walk back up Steinway Street past the subway station until you reach Broadway. Cross Broadway, turn left and the restarant is maybe 5 blocks. It's on the corner of 33rd Street and Broadway.
