New NYC Restaurant: Persephone

January 16, 2008 at 9:20 AM | 1 Comment

Calling all Greek wannabes! Check in this week at the just-opened Persephone on the Upper East Side. You can still maintain your 2008 diet plan, by eating healthy at this converted Greek space. Partners Nicola Kotsoni and Steve Tzolis have expanded uptown and are dishing out treats like Greek meatballs with tomato sauce and the requisite pikilia-spread appetizer sampler.

Persephone offers menu items that are a step up--to suit the neighborhood, naturally. Souvlaki is made with filet mignon and octopus legs are marinated in wine before hitting the grill. Speaking of wine, their list has some traditional Greek offerings, and they also offer interesting-sounding ouzo-based cocktails. (Ouzo-tini, anyone?) You're also welcome to BYOB here, surprisingly, but they'll charge you a fee to cork it.

    persephone in greek mythology

    ok let me be a nerd for a minute. this is the wiki entry on persephone. she was kind of like a voldermort of greek mythology, after hades abducted her and made her queen of the underworld.  she was later returned to her mom, demeter, but forced to visit the underworld four months a year. interesting. ok...nerd time is over.
