A new Mediterranean Foods location will open at the former Sunnyside Prints building next month, according to the owner.

Mediterranean Foods is an imported foods market, selling items including Greek cheese, teas, herbs and spices, and soaps. There are currently two stores, with one at 30-12 34th Street, and the other at 23-18 31st Street (called Mediterranean Foods II), in Agora Plaza.

The new market is located at 22-78 35th Street, and is expected to open after Labor Day.

According to manager Tommy Tentolouris, the lease for the Agora Plaza location will end in about a year and half, at which point that market will close. All three locations will be open until that point.

Tentolouris said the new site is appealing because it is “three times bigger” than Mediterranean Foods II.

Tentolouris’ father, owner Bill Tentolouris, said that the 35th Street market will offer some new Greek imports, including marmalades, candies and organic olives and olive oils.

Foods made on site will include cheese pies, spinach pies and baklava.

Bill Tentolouris also said he intends to serve espresso drinks and Greek coffee in a small outdoor seating area beside the market.

I wonder if the illegal parking situation on that block will resolve when this store opens or get worse. So many cars park on the sidewalk on that block and it is very unsafe for pedestrians. There is a private parking lot across the street which is a mess. The train overpass is full of pigeons, droppings and debris. When it rains it stinks. Happy shopping folks!

Mayor Adams marks one year of ‘Padlock to Protect’ with pizza and progress in Queens

Mayor Eric Adams marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of the city’s “Operation Padlock to Protect” initiative at a pizzeria on the Rego Park and Middle Village border on Wednesday and touted the significant progress in shutting down more than 1,400 illegal smoke shops across the five boroughs and seizing more than $95 million in illegal product since last May.

“The city was fed up. We heard it at every town hall. This time last year, there were thousands of illegal smoke shops plaguing our city with unlicensed cannabis endangering our children,” Adams said. “One year later, we are proud to announce that we have turned the tide. Thanks to the tireless efforts by our city’s law enforcement officers, we’ve padlocked thousands of illegal shops and created safer streets for children and families. But we’re not stopping there.”
