    We have one. Haven’t been to their annual festival in years. It’s always crowded.

    For Greek food, there’s a modest place in lower Manhattan, Kiki’s, that really has a variety of the authentic stuff. Greek wines you won’t find elsewhere too.

      We have one, and the festival is a lot of fun. But very crowded, yes.

        Yes. There's a Greek community in Tarpon Springs. They have a Greek festival. We went to it every year. It's an easy drive from Tampa. It's even closer from where I live. My PCP is in Tarpon Springs. I loved going to the Greek festival. What I like about Tarpon Springs the most today is that you realize once you get there, the land is more open and the air is cleaner. My grandmother had a good friend at work who was Greek. We would go to the festival with her family. My roommate's sister is married to a Greek man who was born and raised in Tarpon Springs. I considered moving there but found only once place I had to rule out. Thanks.

          The Greek festival here is a big deal every year. Fun, although I seldom go to festivals anymore.

            My housing complex shares a wall with a Greek church. Every year they give everyone in my development free passes to their festival because they screw up our parking so badly.

            Enjoyable and I especially enjoyed the part about it being free for us…

              Lots of Greek food festivals in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. I usually enjoy going to at least the one nearest me.

              Has anyone noticed how many diners are owned and run by Greeks?

                There's a Greek jewelry designer who makes jewelry by hand with an entire collection inspired by the motifs of a specific ancient Greek church.

                I'll post the story when it cools down.

                  Lots of restaurants owned by Greeks around here, including a tapas restaurant here in my town. Well, it was a tapas bar for many years but recently the Greek owners closed it and it re-opened as a...wait for it...Greek restaurant! Real Greek food, that is, not Greek diner food.

                    Yes, and they are very good, by and large. There’s a whole lot of them in Michigan.

                      There was this wonderful Greek restaurant in Sarasota back in the day.

                      Our standard go to restaurant for dinner was a Thai restaurant owned by my friend's parents.

                      On special occasions (any time we went was one), we went to an outdoor Barbeque restaurant in Sarasota's Black neighborhood.

                      My friends and I almost always went out for lunch or dinner or someone made dinner and we'd have a dinner party.

                      We didn't use the mandatory cafeteria plan very often but in fairness, the entire price of the plan was only about $275. adjusted for inflation. We used some of it.

                      I don't like going out to eat now. I don't even like ordering food. It's almost always a disappointment.
