Greek eatery Blue Door ready to open in Ridge
The Blue Door will soon be ajar, welcoming Greek food lovers to its Santorini-hued culinary paradise in Bay Ridge.
The easy-to-spot restaurant, which has taken over the spot formerly occupied by Pig Guy on Third Avenue between 84th and 85th Streets, has a brilliant cerulean portal that leads into a white-washed space that instants transports diners to a sun-washed Greek isle, even with snow coating the sidewalk outside.
The food – impeccably fresh and flavorful – is equally idyllic. Blue Door bills itself as a souvlakia, serving up classic Greek dips such as Tzatziki (herb and cucumber-studded yogurt) and Melitsanosalata (garlic-inflected pureed eggplant), as well as souvlaki and gyro platters and pita sandwiches.
