Americans can transport their tastebuds to Greece, without actually boarding a plane. The secret... Limani NYC.
This splendid Greek-Mediterranean restaurant in the heart of Rockefeller Center, is one of the best and popular places to enjoy a meal.
"From cultural touches and aesthetics, to our welcoming ambiance and atmosphere, you and your family will feel right at home at our tables. We’ve established a relaxing place welcoming to the whole family where you can relax and let us take care of the hard work and dedication that goes into each and every one of our dishes," the website says.
You’ll be transported to the beautiful Mediterranean shores of Greece from the moment you step inside. There are two open kitchens, a long marble bar, a fresh fish display and a blue infinity pool in the middle surrounded by white furniture.
