http://offManhattan.com says: "Ya Ya’s is a nondescript little bakery from the outside, but inside, the sticky sweet smells of traditional pastries and rich, hearty scents of fresh baklava straight from the wood-burning oven 'like they used to 100 years ago' keep you lingering..." Try the spanakopita, a mini cheese and spinach pie, or their baklava.
Heralded as ‘baklava like you wouldn’t believe’ by NYMAG Grub Street. Just opened last week in Astoria, Gulluoglu is the 3rd location from this Turkish bakery. Yeah, I know this is a Greek food tour, but why miss a good thing while we're there? - Amy
Time for caffeine! A potent glass of it. My friend Kayla of http://bigappleappetite.tumblr.com swears by the frappes here.
Pick up some Greek specialties to take home! Titan Foods is the largest retail Greek specialty store in North America. - http://http://titanfood.com. The cheese and bakery counters is recommended by http://thefriendlyveg.com.
