Chelsea, New York · Opening soon

Good food, good company.

The heart of every Greek gathering.

The invitation

Alexandros Grimpas invites the neighborhood to join him at his new Greek table, on the corner of Seventh Avenue and 20th Street.

For years, Alexandros ran the Malibu Diner on West 23rd Street, a place this part of Chelsea counted on, and that made a point of looking after its neighbors. Parea carries that hospitality a few blocks south.

The new house is Greek and modern: two floors, a bar, live music on the ground floor, and a kitchen that cooks the dishes people grew up with. Bring friends. Stay for the next round.

A whitewashed room with an arched doorway open to the sea. — Whitewash, timber, the sea through an arch: the mood we’re bringing to Seventh Avenue.

παρέα

Greek, nounpa·ré·a

A group of friends who gather to share food, wine and conversation.
The company you keep, and the feeling of being in it.

From the kitchen

A small stoneware bowl of green olive oil with an olive and a sprig of rosemary. — Olive oil, rosemary, a little salt.

Classic Greek cooking, made the way it’s made at home: generously, and meant for the middle of the table.
