At Christina’s Restaurant…
Okay, that’s not how the original song goes, but you get the idea.
I have my first story on food out. Another one from Block Magazine. It’s about Christina’s Restaurant, one of my favorite places to eat in Greenpoint Brooklyn.
In the back corner of Christina’s Restaurant (853 Manhattan Avenue) in
Greenpoint are pictures of the owner, Krystyna Dura, with some of her
international friends. But Dura, who immigrated to the United States
from Poland in the 1980s, doesn’t have just any friendsâ??they are some
of the most famous actors and singers in Poland. In addition to
snapshots with American personalities like Nicole Kidman, Governor
George Pataki, and Wallace Shawn (Vizzini from Princess Bride), Dura
has amassed a photo collection of her posing with famous Polish singers
and actors, many of whom she says eat at her restaurant when they come
to New York.
Inconceivable!
