Ta Vlahika - Third Time's a Charm

Another new place has replaced the much-changing space on the corner of 23rd Avenue and 31st Street. The new Greek Taverna, which most recently replaced Athens Tavern is called Psitopolio Ta Vlahika.

It seems refurbished, showcasing some needed change. The new space also appears to be more casual than its predecessors but the cuisine is pretty much the same with maybe friendlier prices.
