The product When it came to coming up with a worthy idea for the senior project expo, Leona knew she wanted to do something that related to her Greek heritage. After her father passed away, it became increasingly more difficult to keep her heritage alive in the home. Mihail, Leona’s father was the glue between all things Greek in Leona’s upbringing and environment. Without him, it was almost as if it was impossible to find anything Greek. Since his passing, Leona’s family has been working endlessly to keep on top of everything so finding time to travel close to an hour into Astoria, the Greek hub of New York, is not always possible. For Leona, she holds onto her heritage through the little Greek restaurants in her neighborhood. In reality, these places should suffice but to her they don’t because often times they are not as authentic as they could be. 17
