Neraki Greek Mediterranean: Neraki is this journalist’s personal favorite restaurant on Long Island, especially with regard to the Greek cuisine. Their Greek salads, seafood, appetizers, and homemade pastries are fantastic. It is co-owned by Alex and Olga Moschos. The whole essence of the restaurant is divine. As they say in Greek: “Oso ki’an psaxo den vrisko allo Neraki,” which translates into “As hard as I may look, I will never find another Neraki.”
