Another awesome vid HBB!! In even better news, I'm lined up for one of Greg's FaF tours in about 8 days on my next NYC trip :-)

Very nice! That artichoke dish had me drooling! I live in Auburndale, and I believe it's the second biggest Greek community in Queens behind Astoria. A lot of great places over here as well!

Nice video highlighting some of my favorite Greek places in Astoria. I have lived in Astoria since 1963 so I have just about tried every eating place there. Love Bahari!

Spanakopitas are amazing! I have had those at one of the food court places Opa Of Greece in the mall. As usual, I'm watching this close to supper time. Time for me to go cook some food.

[Barkleyz]

In Florida it’s tarpon springs that’s heavily Greek. The city never really really forgot it’s heritage. Greek divers sponge dived for a long time but the business didn’t really work so they switched to fishing and huge tarpon are still jumping out of the water to this day. You see a scene right out of a coastal Greek town a lot. Old men fixing nets, women going to do shopping. Kids running around. Exactly the same as any Greek fishing town just you hear English not Greek but sometimes you hear bits of Greek especially in random arguments around town. You can get great Greek food in the restaurants around town and they do the flaming cheese which you don’t see much of anymore. I know as one restaurant actually set off a sprinkler doing this and a torrent of water just landed right on the wait staff and put out the fire soaking the place destroying the dish. Some restaurants there actually allow you to break plates for fun. It’s kinda neat they still do it that way.
