ATHLEISURE LIST | PAROS TRIBECA

We always love a BRAVO Top Chef moment and this month's Athleisure List comes from Season 12 Finalist, Chef George Pagonis and his brother, Nicholas. They wanted to bring Greek cuisine to Tribeca since they had looked for the perfect space and finally found the one they fell in love with in this neighborhood.

Paros comes from memories that the brothers enjoyed when their family would visit their home in Paros, Greece as they had a summer home there. It was a no brainer to name the restaurant after the source of these great memories.

The restaurant's ambiance is warm and welcoming. As a family-owned restaurant, they treat their guests as if they are part of that family. The restaurant's interior is a direct reflection of Paros' allure, capturing the essence of Cycladic architecture and the island's streetscapes. Stepping inside, you're immediately transported to Paros' tranquility.

We suggest that 3 appetizers that you should have on your mind are their Grilled Octopus (fava, roasted peppers, onions and capers), Lamb Kleftico (slow-roasted lamb shoulder, shallots, Grecian cheese blend, wrapped in filo), and Kolokithokeftedes (crispy zucchini fritters, lemon yogurt).

For your entree when you're with friends and family, we suggest their whole fish - specifically Fagri (pink snapper from Aegean, with full flavor and firm texture), Lamb Shank Youvetsi (slowly braised lamb shank in tomato sauce, orzo and mlzithra), and Filet Mignon Kebab (marinated and grilled, harissa toast, crispy fingerlings, chimichurri).

We love the idea of pairing these dishes with Gigantes, Brussels Sprouts, and Lemon Potatoes.

To complete this meal, you can't go wrong with sharing a Baklava, Portokalopita, or Cheesecake.

We love a great cocktail and we suggest that you enjoy their Grecian-Tini (Grey Goose Vodka, Skinos Mastiha, mint, cucumber), Hellas Word (Ford's Gin, Yellow Chartreuse, vyzina cherry syrup), and The Mr Tony (Old Forester Bourbon, fig syrup, walnut bitters). If you want to enjoy Greek spirits, Mastiha, Ouzo, and Tsipouro are on the list!

Although they currently only have dinner service, in a few weeks, brunch will be available and a few weeks after that, they will have a lunch service as well!

For those that are thinking about the holiday season, they plan on being closed for Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. They will have a NYE party!
