"Regina Katopodis and her team put out at least 100 different items in Astoria, from Greek breads — like a hearty semolina loaf, cheese-filled rolls, braided tsourekia and almond-topped vasilopita — to a buffet of sweet cakes and cookies, including spiced melomakarona, buttery kourabiedes, rolled kataifi, and can’t-miss diples, ribbons of fried dough soaked in a sugar syrup. Baklava comes in every contortion imaginable. Katopodis and her co-owners also run Pi Bakerie in Soho, where a pared-down menu of Greek savories and sweets is on offer alongside an extensive coffee menu. Sister bakery in Soho Pi Bakerie is also open." - Daniela Galarza, Eater Staff
