Local Greek Opens Second Location in Lambertville with a Ribbon Cutting Event Lambertville, NJ–On January 22nd, 2022 the staple Princeton restaurant will host a Ribbon Cutting event at their second location: 2 Canal Street in Lambertville. Owner, Anthony Kanterakis will celebrate the new brick-and-mortar restaurant with this event. The Local Greek team invites any interested individuals to come out at 12PM on January 22nd for the ceremonial ribbon cutting as well as a free tasting of a selection of menu items. “The location is at the old Towpath restaurant. It’s right on the canal next to the Delaware River,” explained Kanterakis. “We had our eyes on it when we first opened in Princeton three or four years ago. And now we found out that they were selling the restaurant–it was great timing. It’ll be the same concept and same flavors from Executive Chef Stavros Karabasis. Each location will have its own twist of character but the same cuisine. We want to bring our Princeton flavors to Lambertville and to Bucks County.” Kanterakis described the emotions of opening a new restaurant taking on a “roller coaster feel.” Yet at the same time, he’s confident in the products he’ll be bringing to this new market. In between inaudible Greek muttering, Chef Stavros and Owner, Tony revealed their favorite menu items like the homemade Mousakas plate and the Pastitsio entree. They also gave a nod to desserts like baklava and loukoumades, which are all made in house. “We offer other dishes like classic breakfast and brunch. We’ll have the usual seafood and lamb dishes. But it's about the overall experience. From the waiters to the staff, to the restaurant’s energy,” said Kanterakis. “It’s modern Greek comfort food,” remarked Chef Stavros. “And we use great, local ingredients.” After setting a tone in Princeton, the team at Local Greek believes they can successfully expand to Lambertville to offer a “necessary” addition to the town’s food scene. What’s more, the new Local Greek location will feature wines from a NJ vineyard called Old York Cellars. Just like Princeton, the Lambertville zone is a meeting place for residents in the Philadelphia and New York City metropolitan areas. Natives and tourists should note that Local Greek of Lambertville will be closed on Mondays, open from 5-9pm Tues-Fri, 10am-9pm on Saturdays, and 10am-8pm on Sundays. Chef Stavros plans to bounce between the Princeton and Lambertville locations while the management staff will split between the two restaurants. The Chef and Owner, Anthony credit cousin Manny Kanterakis of NEA Construction with his help building out the newest location as well as Princeton establishments—Local Greek and spin-off cafe called Small Bites by Local Greek. “It's what the town needs–a different cuisine coming into the area,” said Kanterakis. “I think we brought something necessary to Princeton and I feel the same way about Lambertville.” About the Restaurant: Local Greek opened its doors in November 2017, offering fine, authentic Greek meze, desserts, breads, and pastries.
