How do you describe a restaurant like Christina’s (853 Manhattan Ave.)? The word “successful” isn’t quite strong enough to encapsulate the 30 years of history that have taken place within the restaurant’s walls.
Multiple publications, and even television stations, have covered Christina’s. New York Magazine included the iconic restaurant in a list of the city’s best latkes, alongside places like Sarge’s Deli and Essex in Manhattan.
Celebrities have been regulars. Most notably, Mariusz Kwiecień,…
Neighborhoods change. Greenpoint was first Native American, then European Protestant, then Irish catholic, then polish, then Spanish, then briefly polish again (when this restaurant was founded) and now young hipsters. Unless you have an establishment that can cater to broad appeal of everybody you will fade. Perhaps the only two examples of this in Greenpoint are Peter Pan donuts and Triple decker restaurant. They have been here since the 1950s and the 1920s.
Good luck to these two people. It was a fine restaurant.
Christina’s is a remarkably special place. The food and the atmosphere speak to the love and dedication that Krystyna has put into making a restaurant more than just a place to have a meal. So many fond memories of sitting at the counter or in a booth, listening to the radio and watching the seasons and the world pass by the window. Best wishes to her and all the wonderful staff.
Good by my love good by !!!
Have a great time !
