James Paloumbis prefers that customers arrive to his new restaurant in South Williamsburg by boat.

“You can come via ferry,” he told BK Reader. “Then you feel like Odysseus — you feel like an Ancient Greek that used to travel on a boat to go for dinner when cars were not an option, just horses.”

Feeling like an Ancient Greek is appropriate: Paloumbis’s new restaurant PSARAKI, named after the Greek word for “little fish,” is not just serving up traditional Greek food. It’s also situated perfectly to approximate the experience of being on a Greek island right here in Brooklyn, only yards from the South Williamsburg ferry stop.
