The Dormition of the Theotokos Greek
Orthodox Church will hold its famous
Greek Food Festival beginning Friday, June
27, and running through Sunday, June 29.
This is one of the most well-attended
celebrations in the entire Pittsburgh area
and with good reason. It serves up some of
the finest Greek classics such as Moussaka
(baked eggplant with meat and cream
sauce), Dolmathes (stuffed grape leaves
with rice and herbs) and Souzoukakia
(meatballs in a delicate wine-tomato sauce)
along with many other selections. Pastries
with delicate phyllo dough will round out
the menu and visitors will also be treated
to Greek music and dances that have been
handed down for generations.
