    In this video, we will take you on a tour of Greek Astoria, from coffee to street food to markets and more. Greg is an Astoria native who is half Greek, giving this video an extra local touch!
    1. Coffee Pot
    28-19 23 Ave
    Astoria, NY 11105
    Part corner store, part Greek coffee shop. Excellent Greek Freddo here (freddo cappuccino). Check out our write-up on this spot here: foodandfootprints.com/coffee-p...
    2. To Laiko
    29-29 23 Ave
    Astoria, NY 11105
    Hole in the wall Greek coffee shop specializing in baked goods.
    3. Titan Foods
    25-56 31 St
    Astoria, NY 11102
    Huge Greek market in Astoria with lots of foods imported from Greece
    4. Yaya’s Bakery
    28-46 31 St
    Astoria, NY 11102
    Galaktoboureko and other sweets at this Greek bakery
    5. Athens Square Park
    30 St & 30 Ave
    Astoria, NY 11102
    Park in Astoria with a heavy Greek influence. Statues of Athena, Socrates, Sophocles and more
    6. King Souvlaki
    31 St & 31 Ave
    Astoria, NY 11106
    For over 40 years, King Souvlaki has been serving up souvlaki on this corner in Astoria. They have expanded from a small cart to a large truck and a few other trucks across NYC. Phenomenal fries along with three types of hand stacked gyros - the real deal!
    7. Franky’s Souvlaki
    Steinway St & 31 Ave
    Astoria, NY 11103
    Another long time souvlaki vendor who has been going strong for over 40 years. This one is a childhood favorite for Greg and just a short walk from King Souvlaki.
    8. Taverna Kos
    41-19 23 Ave
    Astoria, NY 11105
    Couldn’t end this video without some seafood! Only fitting that our last stop is a slightly hidden restaurant in a Green social club. Check out our blog post on this spot here: foodandfootprints.com/taverna-...

    ABOUT FOOD AND FOOTPRINTS:
    We are Greg and Jumi, hailing from opposite ends of the globe. Greg is a native New Yorker who was born and raised in Queens NYC and Jumi grew up in the beautiful islands of the Visayas region of the Philippines.
    How did we meet? One of us messaged the other on Instagram (before sliding in DM's was even possible through the app!) and we met just after Hurricane Sandy hit NYC in October 2012. Although we grew up in two very different worlds, we bonded over a love of experiences over material things, delicious food and exploration.
    We have visited 15+ countries together since December 2014 exploring beaches, ancient temples, bustling streets and ruins. Along the way, we get adrenaline flowing whether paragliding, ziplining, or jetskiing.
    To fuel up for our adventures (and everyday life), we eat lots of local food wherever we are. Street food, carts, trucks, hidden gems and family-run sit-downs are our mainstays. We don't cook, but prefer to spend our money on experiences and we treat food as one. Hey, we gotta eat regardless, right? May as well enjoy it and support good businesses while we're at it!
    All of this is done while we work full-time at our day jobs. How do we do it? Follow along our journeys and you will learn more. Welcome to our lifestyle!
