Diners sitting at the Exo Cafe, at 70-20 Austin St., belonging to Greek American Elias Kalogiros were pelted with the flying trash can and chunks of ice at about 10:55 p.m. when the accident damaged the restaurant’s winter vestibule and shattered some of its windows.

On a cold crisp night, I headed downtown to the quaint Cornelia café in the West Village to warm up with the readings of a compilation of poems written about Greece by Greeks, Greek–Americans and Philhellenes. This poetry reading event has been going on for the past few years. It was organized by The Greek -American Writers Association, and hosted by the known poet, Penelope Karageorge.
The late Angelo Chalikias, a Greek Montrealer who went to extraordinary personal lengths to save the life of Niso Moustaki, a young Jewish man he barely knew, was honored, posthumously through his who were bestowed with Yad Vashem’s Righteous Among the Nations medal and certificate at a special ceremony at Montreal city hall.
