Artopolis Bakery

After the lamb has been devoured and the fish stripped from the bone, you'll probably be in the mood for something sweet. In the world of Greek bakeries, Artopolis Bakery on 31st Street in Astoria is where you should go. The picture-perfect cafe-bakery has mastered the art of Greek desserts, including baskets of spiced biscuits, and of course, honeyed baklava (of which there are 10 types here) and galaktabouriko. If you're lucky, you might grab one of the small tables outside, but even if they're taken, just have the ladies behind the counter wrap you up a box to go. Come Christmastime or Easter, the atmosphere rises to a crescendo and you simply feel you are in Greece.
