i gotta say, i did enjoy astoria because i didn't pay for shit the whole time i was there, this is how every conversation went:
RANDOM GREEK: havent seen you before, you from around here? ME: no, i'm from athens RANDOM GREEK: yeah ok arent we all, but where you from here, astoria? bay ridge? ME: no, i'm from athens, i'm on holiday here for two weeks RANDOM GREEK: wait? you mean you live in athens?? ME: um yeah RANDOM GREEK: brother!!! coffee's on me!! hey george, this guy's over here visiting from the motherland. OTHER RANDOM GREEK: hey maria, bring this boy some baklava on me...
i got fat and i had the jitters from all the coffee
oh and the inevitable "i've got a cousin in athens called spyro, he works in a pizza joint, you know him?" questions always cracked me up.
