Thursday Sips & Nibbles

I'm back again with a new edition of Sips & Nibbles, my regular column where I highlight some interesting, upcoming food and drink events. I hope everyone dines out safely, tips well and are nice to their servers.
******************************************************
1) Greco: Truly Greekowned by Demetri Tsolakis and Stefanos Ougrinis, is one of my favorite fast casual spots, with their delicious Greek gyros and loukoumades. There are now four Greco locations, including the Back Bay (225 Newbury Street), Seaport (200 Pier 4 Blvd.), Downtown (1 Milk Street) and Hub Hall at TD Garden (80 Causeway Street). 

Greco has now launched a new special item, Souvlaki--marinated and grilled chicken or pork on a stick. Souvlaki is a classic Greek street food and now Greco is serving it three ways: Souvlaki skewer ($4.50 each), Souvlaki plate with 1 chicken or pork skewer. Greco fries, Horiatiki salad, Tzatziki and Pita Bread ($14) and the Souvlaki Platter with three chicken souvlaki, three pork souvlaki, Greco fries, Horiatiki salad, Tzatziki, Onion, Tomato, and Pita ($38). 

I'm looking forward to checking out their new Souvlaki soon.

2) Executive Chef Daniel Kenney and the Liberty Hotel team invites guests to celebrate Father's Day at The Liberty Hotel with their Annual Father’s Day Pig Roast. Taking place on Sunday, June 19th from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on The Liberty Hotel's outdoor courtyard, The Yard, the feast will feature an adult buffet and children's buffet featuring a variety of delicious dishes from Executive Chef Daniel Kenney; live music by Conscious Reggae Band; a la carte craft cocktails, fine wines, and beer.
