Expect to find all the Greek food you could ever want, from savory items like moussaka, pastitsio (baked pasta), souvlaki, gyros, tiropita, and spanakopita, to sweet pastries in all shapes and sizes -- all of it handmade by the congregation. There will be baklava, naturally, but don't miss the loukoumades (warm doughnuts soaked in honey and sprinkled with cinnamon and nuts) or our personal favorites, galaktoboureko (cream of wheat-like custard baked in phyllo and soaked in syrup) and kataifi (like baklava, except the phyllo dough shell is shredded, giving it an appearance reminiscent of hay bales).
Wash it all down with a thick Greek coffee, then kick up your heels and join the dancing. Opa!
