A few days ago, I posted a request for Greek restaurants around the world. Special thanks to all who replied.

Here comes the list compiled so far. If you have any pieces of information (additions/corrections), please, feel free to let me know.

Toronto, Ontario:

 Lots of awesome Greek restaurants along Danforth Avenue.  We frequent The
 Astoria, across from the Chester subway station.  (Cynthia Sanoy)

 Knossos.  E side Yonge, S of Carleton.

 Mr Greek, on Danforth, is a great place to eat Greek food. I don't know
    when it closes but I've been in there as late as 3:30 am (this is a
    big deal for stuffy old Toronto).  They are quick, cheap and very tasty!
    (Allen Clark)

    Ouzeri.  500 Danforth Ave.  A really fun Greek restaurant that even has
    decent food.

Epirus - Burlingame
I don't have much information on this place since I've yet to try it. Small, about 6 months old. Downtown, just off of Burlingame Blvd. From: [email removed] (Slothrop) ; Los Angeles (San Fernando Valley):

There is a good greek restaurant in the Winnetka/Canoga Park area of the San Fernando Valley called, I believe, Marianthe's.  It is on Saticoy west of Tampa. From: vgriffin@liquid ; Los Angeles, CA (Orange County): I came across a very good Greek Restaurant in Orange County (Southern California).  It is called the Athenian and it is located in Huntington Beach at the Corner of Springdale and Edinger.  The restaurant is located in the same shopping center as the highly visible Vons Supermarket. From: [email removed]

;
Santa Cruz, CA:

"Vasili's": on Highway 1 on north end of Santa Cruz (attire: casual) -- family-owned and run, laidback Greek style plus laidback Santa Cruz style equals *really* laidback place. Very good food, limited menu but they do have imported Greek wines, small family-run taverna atmosphere. From: [email removed]

;
Greensboro, NC:

"Acropolis" [downtown]: don't have address, sorry
(attire: casual) -- family owned and run; highly recommended for food and service but it is a converted lunch counter so don't expect remarkable ambiance; just go for the food. Ask for Jimmy and tell him Curtis Jackson sent you, then enjoy his and his mother Eleni's cooking. From: [email removed]

;
Chicago, IL:

"Greek Islands": Greektown (no address, sorry)
(attire: casual) -- large place; don't expect small homestyle Mama-cooking-in-kitchen here. More of a restaurant than a taverna. From: [email removed]

Roditys Restaurant: 222 S. Halsted (454-0800)

Petros Dianna's: 1633 N. Halsted Street (642-8484)

     (This one is sort of a sports bar atmosphere but the food is great.

      tomatoes is wonderful (Mediterranean Chicken).)

"Blue Plate Special" type restaurants
-------------------------------------
     Mediterranean Restaurant
     Parkway Restaurant
     Three Brothers Restaurant

Steaks, Seafood, and Greek specialties
--------------------------------------
     Poseidon Steak & Seafood (dinner only)

      and are excellent.  Though its on the edge of town, it is always
      packed, so a reservation is suggested.  Live piano music on weekends.)

New York City, NY:

No list of Greek Restaurants would be complete without Periyali in NYC. NY Times rated three stars. It's the only gourmet Greek restaurant I've ever come across- and the food is spectacular. If you don't already have this one, I'll dig up the exact address for you. From [email removed] Wed Jan  4 23:48:50 1995

West Palm Beach, FL:

"Greek Village": North of Forest Hill Blvd on Dixie Highway (about a mile north)
      The owner's name is Angela and she can cook up greek food almost
      as good as my mom's!
From: [email removed]

;
Brockton, MA:
"Christo's": About 20 miles south of Boston. I practically grew up in the place, having been a regular with my family since it opened about 30 years ago. The food is reasonably priced, the setting is casual, but a bit crowded on weekends! From: [email removed] ; Denver, CO: Try Amonia (that's spelled incorrectly) on east Colfax in Denver. Really great food and they have these incredible semolina/rosewater cookies. In fact, if anyone's going that way, please bring some back.
