“Greek and the City” will feature a series of profiles on prominent Greek New Yorkers (and those with a close connection to the city) curating their favorite things about New York and offering insight for our 1000+ guests who will be visiting the city for the various Gabby Awards-related events during the weekend of June 3-5th. Take our experts’ advice and enjoy some of the city’s Greekest places.
