$$$ Astoria (Central) Greek
A modern Greek dining room that balances grill-driven classics with a bar-friendly energy that works for brunch or a long dinner. The kitchen is at its best when you order across lanes—one bright meze, one charcoal-grilled main, and a shared side—so the table stays varied instead of heavy.
Must-Try Dishes: Grilled octopus, Lamb chops, Loukoumades
What makes it special: Modern Greek cooking with a bar-led, brunch-to-dinner rhythm.

Worthy Picks

$$ Astoria (Central) American
A stylish, all-day American room that plays best as a brunch-and-cocktails destination, with the kitchen strongest on crispy, comfort-forward plates. Order one sweet brunch plate and one savory sandwich so the meal doesn’t skew heavy in a single direction.
Must-Try Dishes: Chicken and Waffles, French Toast, Crispy Chicken Sandwich
What makes it special: Brunch-driven American plates in a design-forward dining room.
$$ Astoria (Central) Breakfast
A brunch-and-late-night crossover spot where breakfast works best when you choose one focused brunch plate and keep the rest light. The menu is broad, so the win is staying disciplined—pick a signature brunch item, then stop before the meal sprawls.
Must-Try Dishes: Crab Cakes Eggs Benedict, Romeo and Juliet Crepe, Avenue Club Sandwich
What makes it special: A broad brunch menu that rewards a tight, single-lane order.
$$ Astoria (Central) Breakfast
A bar-forward Latin spot that’s useful for a later-start breakfast/brunch hang when you want vibes and a full sit-down table. It’s best treated as a brunch occasion play—go in with one clear main per person and keep add-ons minimal.
Must-Try Dishes: Brunch entrées, Shared starters, Cocktails
What makes it special: A brunch-capable, bar-energy room for long, social daytime meals.
$$ Astoria (Central) Donuts
A café-bakery with a broad pastry case where the donut play is the small-format, cream-filled style—best as a quick sweet hit with a coffee. It’s strongest when you keep expectations focused on a couple pastries rather than building a full spread.
Must-Try Dishes: Mini donut (vanilla cream), Mini donut (hazelnut cream), Assorted filled mini donuts
What makes it special: Mini, cream-filled donuts that work best as a quick café treat.
