I was staring at the selection of pites, cookies and pastries at the baked goods counter in Mediterranean Foods when it finally sunk in that a “quick” visit to Astoria was a foolish thought. Why come all this way and not allow Astoria to absorb us in to its unparalleled selection of Greek goods? “If we leave by 10, we can get there in time for some coffee and pites, hit a bakery to pick up some pastries, then grab groceries at Titan. We should be back by 5.” And I really believed this when saying it to my sister Evelyn over the phone several hours earlier.
