Favorite haunt of cinephiles, an attraction for lovers of good food and just a breath away from Manhattan, the New York welcoming neighborhood is waiting for us to discover it.
In a field study on 30th Avenue Astoria, Spencer Wells and his colleagues at the National Geographic identified in DNA samples taken from volunteers in the street, genetic markers from all migration history of mankind, except one, thus confirming its reputation as one of the most culturally diverse corners of the planet. People from almost all countries of the world have chosen this simple neighborhood for their new home. Among them, Greek Americans, who, although not outnumbered (about 17,000 to 154,000 inhabitants), have managed to stand out. You walk down the street and you hear them speak Greek, you read Greek inscriptions, you pass out of Greek Orthodox churches, even the squares have Greek names (Athens Square, Socrates Sculpture Park).
