Greek Food Festival this weekend!

Every September, we look forward to the Saint John Baptist Hellenic Orthodox Church Greek Festival! This Friday, September 17th through Sunday September 19th, enjoy homemade traditional Greek cuisine and pastries. Saturday night includes live music, and the entire weekend hosts indoor and outdoor seating!

HINT: Go for the Gyro, and ask a Greek how to pronounce it correctly:) For dessert, order the Loukoumades (Greek Honey Dumplings), although these tend to sell out fast!

Hungry Mother - The Ultimate Neighborhood Restaurant!

It took us a while, but we finally tried Hungry Mother in Cambridge. The reason for the buzz around the streets would be: Chef Barry Maiden. Maiden was named Best New Chef of Food & Wine Magazine in 2009 and has continued to create new and original items for the HM menu.

Our favorites included The Salmon Croquettes and French Gnocchi. The atmosphere is very cozy, simple, chic with vintage accents throughout. They also offer a extensive cocktail and whiskey list. Some liquors will not be arriving until Winter and are guaranteed to be rarities that you will not find in many parts of the U.S.

HINT: Although a great place for dinner, the late night bar scene is just perfect. Fabulous drinks, great bar menu, and friendly neighbors!

Brimfield Vintage/Antique Show

Yesterday we ventured out to the Brimfield show, going on now through September 12th. About an hour away from Boston, one of the largest vintage shows around takes over several acres of land in Brimfield, MA. You will find everything from vintage jewelry, bags and clothing, to furniture, decorative home accents and much more!

After 4 hours of walking around, we had not seen it all. The town of Brimfield is home to many great Vintage and Antique stores. The fair grounds are also a short ride to good old Sturbridge Village where many Bostonians were once dragged to on a school field trip. This is an all day adventure, and one that we highly recommend. Happy Shopping!

HINT: You will most likely be browsing between celebrities and buyers from Bloomies! Although we weren't lucky enough to spot anyone yesterday, we did return home with a vintage Fendi and Louis Vuitton and lots of fabulous jewelry! GOOD LUCK!
