eginning in the late 19th century, one early Greek-speaking cluster had formed around Madison Street on the Lower East Side (where a community of Greek Jews appears to have also used Judeo-Greek) and in the east and west 20s and 30s, where a section of 8th Avenue was home to nightclubs where Armenian, Greek, and Turkish musicians peformed. Besides the central hub in Queens, Greek clusters also formed in Bay Ridge (with its numerous Greek institutions), in the Bronx (still home to the Kassian Brotherhood for those from Kasos), New Jersey, and beyond. Greek Orthodox Churches, where Koine Greek is the liturgical language, are found in Greek communities across the region.
