Coming Soon – Athena Mediterranean at 213 Smith Street

We couldn’t be any more excited! At the old 213 Mexican address -  213 Smith Street – the new spot looks almost ready for opening. Tonight there was a logo projection moving across the sidewalk. Tacky, yet eye-catching! It was introducing Athena Mediterranean. The front of the building has a Greek relief type sculpture. Again, could be tacky – but in Carrie Bradshaw’s words “Most people would say she’s Eurotrash, but I think she’s fun.”

We caught a peek, aka pic, through the torn newspaper covering the front windows. The interior feels much more bright & sunny Mykonos vs. the earlier rustic dark-wood Mexican predecessor.

Looking forward to trying it out. Praying to the Greek Gods we won’t have to trek to Astoria for some decent Spanakopita.
