Imagine walking into Nerai on a gloomy, drizzly winter day: The bright, airy Midtown Manhattan Greek restaurant with its whitewashed walls and touches of sea blue, long banquettes with plush white cushions and delicious aromas of oregano, feta, and seafood is simply dazzling. You will feel transported to a resort on a Greek island like Santorini or Mykonos, where attentive waiters ply you with fantastic Mediterranean delights such as Cretan meatballs in tomato sauce with whipped goat cheese or chargrilled octopus with chickpea salad. Nerai is spread across several levels with dining rooms of different vibe and décor, very elegant and upscale, so celebrity-spotting is likely. It is also very popular with mid-town business types who come to wheel and deal over spanakopita.
