    Greek Islands

    Descend and head toward Greektown. Make your way to Greek Islands, one of the city's largest Greek restaurants. With around 400 seats, it is easy to find a table for a hearty meal of seafood, lamb, or chicken as the city lights come on.

    Spectrum Bar & Grill

    Finish the evening with a drink at Spectrum Bar & Grill, located just nearby. The Greektown setting means you can enjoy ouzo and saganaki alongside the usual bar fare. Stay until the early hours if you wish.
