Selene - What Does It Take to Build a Greek Restaurant in NYC?

This week on Fork This City, we’re sitting down with James Ragonese and Reno Christou, the co-founders behind Selene, Soho’s newest Greek restaurant.

From their decades of experience in NYC’s restaurant scene to the 15 different menu tastings it took to get things right, James and Reno give us a behind-the-scenes look at building Selene, developing the menu, and what it really takes to run a restaurant in New York City.

We talk favorite dishes, the thought process behind the food, and the realities of bringing a new restaurant to life in one of the toughest dining cities in the world.
