"Some people think of Kiki’s as the ultimate Greek group dinner spot. And, yes, it’s pretty great. But if you have a feeling that your group is going to trickle in and out like you’re all sitting shiva for someone you don’t know very well, Kiki’s will be a logistical nightmare. Go to Bahari Estiatorio with your big group for a fun Greek dinner instead. The grilled meats, saganaki, and octopus at this Astoria spot are all excellent for sharing, and the slight party atmosphere makes it feel like you’re getting a Kiki’s experience without the long waits or cramped space." - hannah albertine, nikko duren
