For a taste of the city’s best Greek food, book a table at the elegant Nerai restaurant. Start your meal off with the Stuffed Calamari appetizer, before moving onto the Short Rib Yiouvetsi, Cretan-Spiced Scallops, or the Duck Moussaka.
Alternatively, stop in for brunch and try the Tsoureki French Toast. Lifelong friends Constantine Youssis and Spiro Menegatos, along with hospitality industry veteran Dinos Gourmos, combined forces with Executive Chef Chris Christou to open Nerai in 2013. Savor their passionately prepared Greek favorites at this charming Midtown eatery, located blocks from MOMA and the Rockefeller Center.
