Where to Feast on Greek Food in NYC | Eater NY

"This large Union Square corner space is a reliable, tasty option on University Place that works for plenty of occasions (a mellow family birthday dinner; an impromptu post-workout meal with a friend). It’s got an extensive menu of classics, including a slew of spreads, with the option to try all six, plus a number of hearty entrees cooked in clay pots. The salads are served in small and large portions, ideal for splitting along with a bunch of starters. There’s a half-dozen cheese apps, from feta wrapped in phyllo dough to saganaki (and its breaded cousin, graviera kasteliani) and a full range of gyro and souvlaki options." - Alexandra Ilyashov
