Lunch Stop Deli - New York

They serve the best iced coffee and a delicious honey turkey avocado on a warm toasted croissant.

Every time I visit this deli, I end up being charged a different price for the same breakfast I order daily. It's usually an older gentleman who does this. He often charges me the price of a large iced coffee for a small coffee. If you decide to go here, make sure to ask for the prices of your items beforehand, as they tend to make up prices and overcharge you.

We arrived a bit too early before the restaurant opened, but the waitress kindly let us in 30 minutes ahead of time. We were quite hungry and wanted to order lamb chops, but unfortunately, we had to settle for veal instead. I also requested tarama, which is my go-to starter for any Greek meal, along with lemon potatoes, another personal favorite. The veal was tender and delicious, and the tarama paired with warm bread was very tasty. Gregory's Corner is arguably one of the best small tavernas in Astoria. While they may have a limited menu selection, their service more than makes up for it. The waitress who took our order was attentive and provided excellent recommendations. Gregory's is a cozy spot that exudes a true Mediterranean vibe. The tables are well-spaced, and the decor is bright and airy. The entrance to the restaurant is somewhat obscured by foliage and can be a bit hard to spot from the street. Inside, the atmosphere was lively, with the waitress and owner engaging in animated discussions in Greek. It felt a bit intense at times, but it added to the charm of the experience.

The place is rustic and as described by Michelin it's a bib gourmand). Everything was delicious. Of course, we ordered too much but we enjoyed everything and we were able to give dishes to an adjoining table when we couldn’t finish them! We started with fried fresh, breaded, and sautéed anchovies $20) which we love, and with scordalia $7) which was yummy with the anchovies. Automatically bread and an olive oil with minced olive mixture were brought to the table. Also complimentary was a dish of stewed chickpeas that were soft and tasty. With that, we ordered a soup to warm Dimitri up and it was perfect $14): it had a rich base with celery in it and was called burasi goup dida) or something like that. Separate from the base, meat, potato, and carrot were served. Dimitri really liked it. We ordered a ½ carafe of the house red $17) and that was good. For our “main”, we ordered the skiotakia and glikadakia liver and sweetbreads) that were sautéed with onion and were absolutely delicious and tender $25) along with the zucchini patties. For dessert, we were automatically brought a semolina cake that Dimitri loved. Yperochos! We spent $103 plus tip and were very happy.
