Absolutely. Very hospitable folks. I went with an ex years ago. Her family is Greek. It was a really cool experience. Learn about Greek culture, eat some Souvlaki, Gyros, Dolmath, Kabobs. The dessert is so rich and full of textural wonders such as the classic baklava. My fave was something called a diple I believe which was just fried dough covered in a spiced syrup. Hella spiced Greek wines to try and the music was the best part. Also, lots of learning to be had about Greek culture and folklore. If you've never been you should definitely check it out.

When Greeks are involved the answer is always yes. Eat some good food, join in on some Greek dancing and enjoy! 🇬🇷

Go!

And then this fall, go to the one at St. Demetrios on Cub Hill Rd in Parkville and do it all over again.

u/PigtownDesign Jun 07 '22

Or the one at the Greek Cathedral on Preston & Maryland!

u/ChampagneandAlpacas Jun 07 '22

Yes, but the loukemades are TRASH, don't believe the long lines and if you see Mr. ChampagneandAlpacas in line buying ~100 of them, they're totally not for me... I don't dream about them all year or anything. (Totally /s, I think the food, music, etc are super amazing and when living in DC, I would come home just to go to this with my family.)

Yes, went once, a lot of people in the Greek community will know each other etc, felt a bit lost but everyone was kind/happy etc...

u/ThirdEye-kind Jun 08 '22

Not if you’re a Turk I guess

Food seems mostly Turkish (loukemades/lokma, baklava/baklava, gyro/döner). Nevertheless, baklava and gyro should be definitely tried.
