Athens Grocery (Chicago, Addison, Lincoln: neighborhoods, live, prices)

[Gemini1963]

Has anyone who used to shop at Athens Grocery on Halsted (in Greektown) found a decent substitute, since Athens Grocery burned? Although I miss the whole thing, I'm especially looking for the Greek honey (Attiki), bulk olives of all sorts, bulk feta cheese, and retsina.

Thank you!

Minos Imported Foods and Liquor. There I found not only great quantities of delicious volvoí but an absolutely fabulous Greek food store and one of the best ethnic groceries in the region: Thanks to the large number of Greeks in the area, this shop is able to offer a very wide selection of all the common and many not so common specialty items, but beyond that the store also caters to various ethnic groups from the Balkans resident in Addison and environs, adding a further dimension to an already impressive range of offerings.

As one enters the store, the ‘deli’ counter is to the right, the grocery aisles to the left. Here is one of the cheese coolers (with a sign showing the prices on roasted meats in the background):

Thank you so much! I can't wait to try these places. The photos are great, and so are the Yelp reviews. I will be very happy to see (and smell!) everything again.

Thank you again!
