The Athenian NYC

To discover refreshing, cutting-edge Greek wines, head to the Athenian where tastes and inspiring descriptions are freely given. The three-cheese pie is essential–flaky filo dough enclosing melted feta, kasseri and kefalotyri and sweetly crowned with preserved kumquats. Spanakopita and garlic shrimp with smoked paprika are also worthwhile. It’s a whitewashed slip of a place, best for solo diners and date nights.
