Taverna Kyclades

Where To Spend A Big Night Out In NYC, According To Katherine Lewin

"“One question I find myself asking pretty much every day of summer: where can I go feel like I’m on vacation somewhere in the Mediterranean? So far, my best answer is Taverna Kyclades in Astoria. I like to go for an early dinner, get a seat outside under the big blue awning, and bring a bottle of white wine I’ve been looking forward to trying (their corkage is reasonable and they bring a bucket of ice to keep it nice and cold). Get a selection of dips, the lemon potatoes, the prasini salad (with lots of feta and dill), and the octopus. And save room for the delicious (and free!) dessert they drop at every table.”" - brennan carley
