New NYC Bakery Hello Halloumi Opens in West Village | Eater NY

"A new bakery dedicated to all things halloumi is opening this weekend in the West Village, debuting Saturday, October 18 at 48 Greenwich Avenue between West 10th and 11th streets; its whole focus is the semi-firm Cypriot cheese, and founder Constantino Papadakis is importing it straight from Cyprus for grilled, baked, and fried items. The menu spans bagel bites stuffed with halloumi, halloumi triangles, halloumi fries, and halloumi focaccia, alongside non-halloumi cheeses like feta sesame balls and sweet anari, sweet tahini swirls, and gluten-free options. There are Greek freddo espressos and cappuccinos, and for opening day, free coffee, a raffle, and music. The bakery took over the space previously home to empanada shop Nadas, which closed over the summer." - Nadia Chaudhury
