This following post is actually about a non-visit during my recent stay in New York. Despite my having a full week to sight-see, explore, eat & drink and meet folks along the way – there just wasn’t enough time to patronize all the Greek restaurants of note.

I’ve been enjoying Greek-made pasta of late. The folks at Misko who make an array of pasta were kind enough to send me samples of their Greek pasta varieties.

With autumn taking a firm grip on the weather, thoughts and memories wander back to my summer vacation in Greece. There’s Greek countryside, the sea, the people, friends and family. Most of my mom’s side of the family lives there and this is one of the important reasons why I go back to Greece as [...]

Kensington Market was (and still is) an area of the city where immigrants would first reside and set-up [...]

A few years ago while on my way to Greece for my summer vacation, I stopped for a few days in Budapest, Hungary. Budapest is really two cities: Buda sits on the hilly western bank of the Danube River and Pest to the east. Combined the two cities are known as Budapest. Hungary is known [...]
