PI BAKERIE NOW IN FIDI
The owners of the Financier bakery at 35 Cedar (unfortunately a casualty of the pandemic) have reopened in the same spot with Pi Bakerie, a Greek bakery that already has a few fans on CB1. (They asked for a beer and wine license last week.) HPH Group, run by Peter Poulakakos and Paul Lamas, operates Harry’s Italian, the new Anassa Taverna as well as Ulysses on Stone Street and a dozen or so other restaurants. For this one, they partnered with the owners of Pi Bakerie, which has its original store in Soho on Broome. “I happen to be Greek and I love Greek food and I love their concept so I thought it would be something fun to do downtown,” Lamas said. There are 54 seats, no bar. Google says the hours are 7a to 8p, but they are so new the website is not updated yet.
