Meropi Kyriacou Honored as TNH Educator of the Year
NEW YORK – Meropi Kyriacou, the new Principal of The Cathedral School in Manhattan, was honored as The National Herald’s Educator of the Year.
NEW YORK – The grand opening of Metro Marché was held on March 30 with family, friends, food bloggers and influencers in attendance to celebrate with Greek restaurant owner Steve Tenedios (of Kyma Restaurants, Café Metro- Manhattan’s longstanding brand for lunch and catering- and Fresh & Co) and his daughter Christina Tenedios who did the honors cutting the ribbon at the event.
Guests had the opportunity to taste a variety of delicious items from the menu including salads, soups, sandwiches, and Metro Marché’s Market Table- a selection of inventive gourmet entrees and seasonal side dishes.
Metro Marché is located at 30 West 57th Street in Manhattan, along ‘Billionaire’s Row’ as 57th Street is known for its prestigious art galleries, restaurants, and high-end shops.
Steve Tenedios spoke with The National Herald at the celebration, noting that “I’m very proud to be here with my daughter and partner in this new venture of hers, Metro Marché which we hope will be the first of many… we’re excited to be here and be back on 57th Street, we used to be on 57th Street [with a previous restaurant], and we’re looking forward to the future.”
Christina Tenedios told TNH that about 100 guests were expected to attend the opening including family, friends, food bloggers, and the media. Among those present were her mother Olga, brother George and his wife Stephanie.
In a previous interview Christina told TNH: “I grew up in the restaurant business with my father, learning by experience and watching him. For most of my adult life, I have been working in the family business. It was time for me to try an idea that had a more modern vibe with a relaxed feel.”
“I always knew I wanted to do something separate from Café Metro and Fresh & Co, and while it’s still under the same ownership, Metro Marché has a relaxing and home style ambiance inviting our customers to escape for a few minutes from their busy days and enjoy delicious food,” she continued. “We offer casual-style dining and catering from popular breakfast staples, salads, and soups to a variety of sandwiches and daily market table specials. Also, as this is the first location for Metro Marché, I envision opening more locations in NYC in the coming years.”
With a fresh and innovative menu and a bright and inviting interior, Metro Marché is already drawing crowds, especially for lunch, annd is on its way to becoming a staple in the area for casual-style dining and catering. For those dining-in, the seating area is sleek and ideal for either socializing or enjoying a quiet meal. Metro Marché is also a great option for a quick grab and go-type New York City lunch break.
