Elias Corner – Greek

This bustling Astoria institution transports diners to the sun-drenched shores of the Mediterranean, where the air is thick with the savory aroma of charcoal-grilled octopus and bright citrus. Guests bypass traditional menus to choose from a glistening display of the day’s freshest catch, which is transformed over open flames into tender, salt-kissed masterpieces served in a lively space that hums with the authentic warmth of a seaside Greek taverna.
