Yet Another Greek Festival

 

 

There are a whole lot of Greek Festivals in Northeast Ohio, I mean a lot. I always go to the one that started it all in Tremont. That one is on around its 45^th year, and it was the town's cultural festival when it was the ONLY Cultural Festival.

I always go to the one down in Akron as well. I picked up one of my degrees from the University of Akron and I have very fond memories of walking over to the Greek Church on Thursdays when they opened up their kitchen for Gyros and Baklava. Plus some good friends from my youth are part of the church.

I also go to St. Paul in North Royalton as my good friend Cynthia is a member and its a really good festival. I wound up parking in the overflow lot, and got the last spot there, as it was SO packed when I showed up Saturday Night around 7. It was worth the walk over. No question.

The food was amazing, I'm not sure if they have the best Lamb, but Im sure they have the best Greek Pastries. And some of the best sides. Im not a big meat eater, other than seafood, these days so I also welcomed their Kalamari.

I like St. Paul as they always have some entertainment going on in the dining area as well as all the big show stuff going on under the big tent. The deck on the back of the church was awesome as well.

The Folks at St. Paul seem to really like to cut loose. The dancers where off the charts good, and when I joined in they were more and happy to help this slow footed Swede pick up the moves.

A Good Night

And Oh yeah, The had 7 Star Metaxa, Not 3, not 5. But 7. Good Stuff
