When Fotini Kessissoglou opened Kesso Foods, a pint-size Greek yogurt factory and shop in East Elmhurst, Queens, in 1986, she had no way of knowing that her country’s ultrathick, strained staple would someday become an American obsession.

Today, Greek yogurt rules the supermarket dairy case. It’s also big business in New York State, where Chobani and Fage, two of the country’s leading brands, have their main production plants. But 27 years ago, Ms. Kessissoglou, a new immigrant from Athens, just craved one of her favorite foods from back home. “She simply could not find any good yogurt here,” her daughter, Vea Kessissoglou, said recently.

Lego Acropolis

Nicholson Museum's next monumental (Lego) show
Having conquered the Lego Colosseum, the Nicholson Museum have engaged master builder Ryan McNaught (Australia’s only registered Lego builder) to recreate the 5th Century BC Acropolis of Athens, alongside the later Odeon of Herodes Atticus, a large stone amphitheatre built in 161AD. McNaught's creations will be the centrepiece of this exhibition, which also features ancient Greek archaeological artefacts from the Nicholson Museum’s collection, including sculpture, pottery, and photographs of the Acropolis from the 1890s. There's also (of course) a designated Lego construction site, for budding builders.
